To a large, microwave-safe bowl add:
8 oz bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao or higher, chopped)

Stir mixture until smooth.
If the marshmallows have not melted, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between
Let mixture cool to room temperature, ~45 minutes.
Step 2: Make whipped cream
When mixture is cool, to a medium mixing bowl, add:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 Tbsp sugar
Whip until soft peaks form:
Transfer 1/2 cup of whipped cream to a small bowl and refrigerate (topping)
Step 3: Combine chocolate and whipped cream
Using a stand or hand mixer, whip for ~1 minute:

Serving size: 8 (4 oz) servings
*You can use the double boiler method to melt the marshmallows, chocolate, and heavy cream together instead of a microwave, if desired
**It’s impossible to require you to wait two full hours . . . this is delicious even if you can’t wait until chilled
