Decadent Chocolate Marshmallow Mousse

Ingredients

- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipped cream

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients:
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the semi-sweet chocolate finely and set aside.

2. Melt Marshmallows and Chocolate:
Place a medium-sized, heavy-bottom saucepan over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows, chopped chocolate, and unsalted butter to the saucepan.

3. Combine and Stir:
Stir the mixture continuously with a spatula to prevent burning. Keep stirring until the marshmallows and chocolate are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. This process should take approximately PT7M (7 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.

4. Whip the Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Use an electric mixer set on medium-high to whip the cream until soft peaks form. This should take around PT5M (5 minutes).

5. Fold Ingredients Together:
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled but is still pourable, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be sure to fold carefully to keep the mousse light and airy, ensuring that there are no streaks of cream remaining.

6. Chill the Mousse:
Spoon the mixture into individual serving cups or bowls. Place the cups in the refrigerator and allow the mousse to chill and set for at least PT1H (1 hour).

7. Serve:
Just before serving, you may garnish with additional mini marshmallows or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
