Chocolate Marquise is a classic French dessert that has become popular all over the world. It is a no-bake dessert that is similar to a mousse but with a firmer texture. The dessert is made of chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, and cream, which are combined and then frozen until set. After eights are used for garnish, adding minty freshness to the rich chocolatey flavor. Chocolate Marquise is a show-stopper at dinner parties, impressing guests with its elegant appearance and sumptuous taste.

Instructions

1.	Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with oil or butter, then line it with parchment paper, leaving extra hanging over the edges.
2.	In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate over a bain-marie or in a microwave, taking care not to scorch it.
3.	Cream together sugar and softened butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add cocoa powder and eggs, one by one, and mix until well combined.
4.	Whisk the cream in a separate bowl until it starts to thicken, then fold it into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
5.	Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and freeze for at least 6 hours.
6.	To serve, let the marquise soften for a few minutes, then serve by slicing and garnishing with after eights mints.
