I tested out two versions: one topped with the homemade toasted marshmallow meringue and another with toasted store-bought marshmallows. The meringue was definitely my favorite and truly makes this recipe something special.

How To Make Wishbone Kitchen's French-Style Hot Chocolate
To prepare this hot chocolate, start by warming the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it’s simmering. Then, turn off the heat and add the dark chocolate, brown sugar and sea salt and stir well.

If the chocolate isn’t completely melted, warm the mixture on low heat until the mixture is smooth.

For the marshmallow meringue, pull out your stand mixer or grab an immersion blender and add the whisk attachment. (I've used both successfully, so just use what you have.)

Add the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar to the bowl, whipping until the mixture is foamy. Set the egg white mixture aside while you make the sugar syrup for the meringue.
Alexa Mellardo
In a medium saucepan, bring some sugar and water to a gentle boil, stirring the mixture constantly so it doesn’t burn. Right before the sugar syrup is ready, beat the egg whites on high speed.

Slowly add the simple syrup to the egg mixture, making sure to stream it in along the side of the bowl so you don't cook the eggs. Once it’s added, continue to whip until the meringue comes to has soft to medium peaks. This should take about seven to eight minutes.Related: The British Way To Make Hot Chocolate 10x Better

Pull out your favorite wintery mug, add the warmed hot cocoa and a generous dollop of the marshmallow meringue. Use a handheld chef’s torch to toast the meringue for a real toasted-marshmallow-hot-cocoa experience. (Although the torching step is optional, I’d say it’s quite essential.)
Alexa Mellardo
If you’re looking to upgrade your hot cocoa game, nothing trumps homemade. I love experimenting with new dessert recipes—especially in the winter—and Wishbone Kitchen’s French-style hot chocolate is a real keeper.
Let's put it this way: A mug of French-style hot chocolate topped with homemade toasted meringue will transport you to a quaint European bistro, where the aroma of freshly baked croissants and chocolate wafts through the air.Related: I Tried 8 Popular Fast-Food Hot Chocolates and the Winner Won by a Landslide
Tips & Tricks for Making This Version of Hot Chocolate
