Sweet & Dessert

Ingredients

1/2 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
oz dark chocolate (70% cacao), finely chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
teaspoon vanilla extract
cup mini marshmallows
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush baguette slices with melted butter and toast for 8 minutes
minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
Prepare the ganache: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat, add chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract, and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
Spread a generous layer of the warm chocolate ganache onto each toasted crostini.
Top each crostini with a small cluster of mini marshmallows. Return to the oven or use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows until golden brown and gooey, about 1
minutes.
Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving immediately.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

For perfectly toasted marshmallows without a torch, use the broiler setting on your oven, but watch them constantly as they can burn in seconds. This decadent treat pairs wonderfully with a glass of rich, dark Port wine or a creamy stout beer.
