Method

  1. Heat the milk with the chilli in a small saucepan over a low heat until it just boils.
  2. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until melted. Infuse for 5 mins, discard the chilli and pour into 2 mugs. Spray with a layer of cream.
  3. Thread the marshmallows onto 2 metal skewers. Grill under a high heat for roughly 1 min until browned. Put on top of the cream and dust with the cocoa.

Top tips

Go gooey and grill the marshmallows until they begin to melt inside.

Add a little Irish cream, brandy or salted caramel liqueur for a boozy treat.

For a dairy-free option, replace the whole milk with almond milk and use whipped coconut cream for the topping.
