- 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
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and let it soften for 5 minutes, then gently warm until fully dissolved.
- Heat the sugar with a splash of water in a small saucepan until it reaches a light syrup, about 3-4 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Melt the chocolate and spread or dip the set squares to coat them in a thin chocolate shell before serving.
