The flavors of hot chocolate and a rich chocolate cookie crust come together in this delicious dessert, the Holiday Hot Chocolate Tart. With the fun and festive touch of toasted mini marshmallows on top, it's the ideal treat for the holiday season.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• Crushed candy canes for garnish optional

Instructions:

Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F

Melted butter and chocolate cookie crumbs should be combined in a mixing bowl

To make the crust, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan

After 10 minutes of baking, take the crust out of the oven and allow it to cool

Combine the granulated sugar, whole milk, and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat

Stirring constantly, heat the mixture until it's hot but not boiling

After turning off the heat, pour the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the saucepan

Stir until smooth and the chocolate has melted completely

Add the salt and vanilla extract and stir

Once the tart crust has cooled, pour the chocolate mixture into it

Place the tart in the fridge to solidify the chocolate filling, which should take at least two hours

Before serving, decorate the tart with crushed candy canes if desired and top with mini marshmallows

To create a toasted look, lightly brown the marshmallows with a kitchen torch

Cut your Holiday Hot Chocolate Tart into slices and serve
