Steps:

• Put the pistachios and grated coconut on 2 separate small plates. Lightly spray a large plate with cooking spray.
• Put the semisweet chocolate chips in a ramekin or very small microwave-safe bowl and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Stir in the coconut oil.
• Dip a marshmallow halfway in the chocolate, then coat in the pistachios; transfer to the sprayed plate. Repeat with 3 more of the marshmallows. Dip the remaining marshmallows halfway in the chocolate, then coat in the coconut. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Put the white chocolate chips, cardamom and 1 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking often, until smooth. Add the heavy cream and remaining 2 1/2 cups milk and heat, stirring occasionally, until hot. Stir in the vanilla.
• Serve the white hot chocolate with the marshmallows.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, place the chopped white chocolate and set aside.
• Add the egg yolks and sugar to a small bowl and whisk until pale in color.
• In a saucepan, over low heat, bring 1/4 cup of the cream to a simmer, and slowly add the cream into the yolk and sugar mixture to temper. Pour the creamy mixture back into pan and stir with a wooden spoon until it coats the back of it.
• Pour hot mix into a fine mesh sieve placed directly over bowl with the chopped chocolate. Stir until completely smooth.
• In another bowl, whip remaining 1 cup of the cream to almost stiff peaks. Fold half the whipped cream into the white chocolate mix to lighten and then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
• Spoon the white chocolate mousse into 4 serving cups and refrigerate until set, approximately 1 hour.
• Garnish each serving with 3 blackberries and a sprig of mint, if using.
