Chocolate-coated Marshmallow Treats (Flødeboller)
Flødeboller are a Danish chocolate-coated marshmallow treats. You can use flat, round shortbread (or other) biscuits instead, or even sponge circles instead of the marzipan biscuits.
Ingredients
Marzipan biscuits
- 100 g icing sugar
- 2 ea. (60 g) pasteurized egg whites
- 300 g marzipan (pure)
Vanilla filling
- 250 g white granulated sugar
- 75 g water
- 110 g glucose syrup
- 4 ea. (140 g) pasteurized egg whites
- 15 g sugar
- ½ vanilla pod/bean
- 1 teaspoon icing sugar
- Concentrated or dry flavoring (optional)
Chocolate coating
- 500 g dark (58–64%) chocolate
Steps
Marzipan biscuits
- Mix icing sugar and egg whites in bowl.
- Mix egg-sugar mixture into marzipan in several stages until dough is uniform.
- Pipe flat, round biscuits, about 5 cm in diameter, with pastry bag.
- Bake at 190°C until golden, about 10 min.
- Cool to ambient temperature.
Filling
- Heat 250 g sugar, water and glucose syrup in saucepan to exactly 117°C.
- Meanwhile, lightly beat egg whites with 15 g sugar.
- Pour hot sugar mixture gradually into egg whites while beating.
- Whip until very stiff.
- Split vanilla bean. Scrape out seeds and mix with icing sugar. Add to egg white mixture with any flavoring. Stir slowly until uniform. Do not deflate meringue.
- Pipe 5 cm tall meringue tops onto marzipan biscuits. Ensure foam adheres to biscuit, or it will fall off while coating.
- Leave at room temperature or refrigerate while preparing chocolate coating.
Chocolate coating
- Chop chocolate finely.
- Melt half the chocolate in bain-marie to 48–50°C.
- Put other half of chocolate in a bowl big enough to submerge an entire cake. Add ⅔ of melted chocolate. Melt together WITHOUT HEATING. Add more melted chocolate only if lumps remain. Do not exceed 34°C.
- Dip meringue tops in chocolate. Cover all meringue.
- Sprinkle or roll in desiccated coconut. Leave to set. If chocolate starts to set, do not reheat it. Use some warm melted chocolate.
