Swoon-Worthy Hot ChocolateFirst, make this amazing sauce from Demolition Desserts by Elizabeth Falkner:Dark Chocolate Sauce 4 oz (112 grams or about 2/3 cup) chopped dark or milk chocolate ½ cup (4 oz) heavy cream 2 Tablespoons (1½ oz) corn syrup 3 Tablespoons (½ oz) cocoa powder ¼ cup (2 oz) water 2 Tablespoons (1 oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt Place chopped chocolate in a small metal bowl. In a small pot stir together cream and corn syrup over medium-low heat until it’s hot & steamy but not boiling, bubbles will appear around the edges of the pan. Pour hot liquid over chocolate & cover bowl loosely for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth. In another small pot, whisk together cocoa and water. Continue to whisk over medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes, until smooth and thickened. Pour over chocolate mixture and whisk to combine. Add the butter and salt and whisk till melted and sauce is smooth. Use right away or refrigerate for 1 week. After chilling, reheat gently & stir to soften back into a sauce. Second, heat 1 cup of milk per serving just until hot and steamy, not boiling. Stir in 1/4 cup of sauce per serving until melted and smooth. Top with a Pink Spatula marshmallow and prepare to visit your happy place. Enjoy!
