Ingredients

  • 165 ml whipping cream
  • 150 g dark chocolate
  • 250 ml milk
  • 2 tsp Kahlúa
  • marshmallows

Instructions

  • Bring the whipping cream to a boil, remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate, broken into pieces. Whisk it well.
  • Now add the milk and return to the heat until warm but not boiling.
  • Add Kahlúa, pour into small cups and top with marshmallows.

Notes

Especially the marshmallow bit doesn’t strike me as being particularly French, but it was lovely!
