DenmarkOtherEveryday Pareve 45 min 12 servings Medium

A seasonal treat consisting of a chocolate-coated whipped marshmallow on a biscuit base, originating in 19th-century Denmark. In Jewish kitchens and kosher confectionery, it is typically prepared with a pareve biscuit, an egg-white or kosher-gelatin marshmallow filling, and a crisp chocolate shell.

Ingredients

  • 12 plain tea biscuits or vanilla biscuit rounds
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup or glucose
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 ounces pareve dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil or cocoa butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a tray or board with parchment and arrange the biscuit bases evenly apart.

  2. 2

    Place the egg whites and salt in a clean mixing bowl and begin whipping to soft peaks.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, heat the sugar, water, and corn syrup until the syrup reaches soft-ball stage, about 240°F/115°C.

  4. 4

    Slowly pour the hot syrup into the whipping egg whites while beating continuously, then add the vanilla and whip until the mixture is thick, glossy, and just warm.

  5. 5

    Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

  6. 6

    Pipe a tall dome of marshmallow onto each biscuit, then let the pieces stand for 20 to 30 minutes to form a light skin.

  7. 7

    Melt the chocolate with the oil or cocoa butter until smooth and fluid.

  8. 8

    Spoon or dip the chocolate over each marshmallow-topped biscuit so the dome is fully enrobed.

  9. 9

    Let the coating set completely at cool room temperature before serving or storing.

Kosher notes

Use certified kosher pareve chocolate and biscuits. If avoiding non-kosher gelatin, rely on Italian-meringue marshmallow or kosher-certified gelatin.
