  • Preparation: 135 min
  • Cooking: 7 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (77.3 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free
  • Contains: alcohol, beef, egg, gelatin, pork

Ingredients

  • 2 g Gelatin
  • 30 g Sugar
  • 15 g Water
  • 15 g Egg whites, raw
  • 0.3 g Vanilla extract
  • 15 g Chocolate, dark

Method

  1. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and let it soften for 5 minutes, then gently warm until fully dissolved.
  2. Heat the sugar with a splash of water in a small saucepan until it reaches a light syrup, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then, whisking constantly, drizzle in the hot sugar syrup and the dissolved gelatin; the hot syrup lightly cooks the egg white as you whisk. Keep whisking for 5 minutes until thick, glossy and cool.
  4. Stir in the vanilla, then spread the fluffy mixture into a small lined tray and chill for at least 2 hours until set into a firm marshmallow-like layer.
  5. Melt the chocolate and spread or dip the set squares to coat them in a thin chocolate shell before serving.
