Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

20 medium wafers round 5 cm in diameter

Marshmallow Ingredients:

3 large egg whites free range
200 g granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 sachet gelatine about 7g
50 ml water

Chocolate Coating Ingredients:

300 g dark chocolate or milk/white chocolate, if preferred
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Dissolve the gelatin in 50ml of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
1 sachet gelatine, 50 ml water
In a heatproof bowl, combine the egg whites, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
3 large egg whites, 200 g granulated sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp lemon juice
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Whisk continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture reaches 70°C (use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy).
Remove from heat and continue to whisk until the mixture forms stiff peaks and has cooled to room temperature.
Warm the bloomed gelatin gently until fully melted and then slowly pour it into the marshmallow mixture, whisking constantly.
Transfer the marshmallow mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle.
Pipe the mixture onto the wafers, creating a mound of marshmallow on each wafer.
20 medium wafers
Allow the piped marshmallow-topped wafers to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are firm to the touch.
Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil together in a microwave or a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
300 g dark chocolate, 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Dip each marshmallow-topped wafer into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the coated treats on a wire rack to allow the chocolate to set.
Let the Schokoschaumküsse sit at room temperature until the chocolate has fully set.
