Marshmallow is a close relative of marshmallow and marshmallow, whose roots go back to France. A delicate delicacy, it is it that children bake on a campfire in a Western cinema, stringing it on sticks: then it becomes even more airy … And we will shade its airiness with crumbly chocolate cookies!
It is necessary
- For cookies - the basics:
- 400 g flour;
- 8 tbsp cocoa powder;
- 0.5 tsp salt;
- 250 g of chilled butter;
- 6 yolks;
- 200 g sugar;
- 2 tbsp vanilla (extract).
- For marshmallows:
- 120 ml of water;
- 120 ml of light molasses or syrup;
- 340 g sugar;
- 3 tbsp (no slide) gelatin;
- 4 squirrels;
- 2 tbsp vanilla;
- 2 tsp starch;
- 2 tsp icing sugar.
Instructions
Step 1
Beat the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla until white. Sift flour with salt and cocoa. Chop the butter into small pieces and mix with the flour mixture with your fingertips to make an oil crumb. Add yolks, knead the dough. Pour the dough into a mold with high sides and refrigerate for half an hour. At this time, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake for 10 minutes and cool on a wet towel without removing it from the mold.
Step 2
Now let's do the marshmallows. Soak gelatin in 4 tablespoons. cold water. While it swells, combine sugar, water and syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Without interfering, bring to a boil and cook readiness: we determine it by typing a little syrup in a spoon and dipping it into cold water for a minute. Then we take it out and touch it with our finger: you should feel that it is covered with a light crust and lends itself to pressing. Whisk this syrup into a soft caramel. Remove syrup from heat and combine with gelatin.
Step 3
Beat the whites until firm peaks. Add the syrup a little at a time, and then the vanilla. Beat for about 5 minutes - the mixture should thicken. Put this mixture on top of the chocolate crust - base and leave in the cold overnight.
Step 4
Mix the starch and icing sugar and sprinkle over the finished dessert. Portion and serve. Enjoy your tea!
