The main feature of homemade chocolate marshmallows is that they contain only proteins and carbohydrates. This distinguishes them from other desserts that also contain fats. In addition, the treat contains a significant amount of glucose, which has a positive effect on brain function. Homemade chocolate marshmallows contain only natural products: apples, egg whites, lemon juice, and dark chocolate glaze.

How to cook Homemade chocolate covered marshmallows

Step 1

Prepare applesauce. Bake the cut apples in the oven for 20-30 minutes. Peel the finished apples, mash them and add granulated sugar and vanilla. Let cool.

Step 2

Prepare agar-agar. Pour water into a saucepan, add lemon juice, agar-agar, mix and leave for 1 hour to swell.

Step 3

Prepare the syrup. After an hour, place the pan with agar-agar on the fire, bring it almost to a boil. Add the sugar prepared for the syrup. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool.

Step 4

Combine the ingredients. Beat the applesauce with a mixer, add the egg white. Pour the cooled syrup in a thin stream, continuing to beat. Beat until a white fluffy foam. The mass should increase in size by 2 times.

Step 5

Make marshmallows. Form marshmallows with a spoon or pastry bag. Leave the marshmallows for a day to dry.

Step 6

Make the glaze. After 24 hours, melt the dark chocolate in a water bath. Dip the marshmallows into the chocolate, remove and let the excess chocolate drip off. Place on parchment and let harden.

Homemade chocolate covered marshmallows - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a substitute for agar-agar in this recipe?

Yes! You can substitute agar-agar with gelatin. Use 1 tablespoon of gelatin (dissolved in cold water first) for every 1 teaspoon of agar-agar, but note the marshmallows may have a slightly different texture.

How should I store homemade chocolate-covered marshmallows, and how long do they last?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Keep them away from humidity to prevent melting or stickiness.

Are these marshmallows vegetarian-friendly?

Yes, if you use agar-agar (a plant-based thickener), the recipe is vegetarian. However, if using gelatin, it's not vegetarian as gelatin is derived from animal collagen.

Can I make this recipe without eggs for an allergy-friendly version?

Yes! You can omit the egg white or use aquafaba (chickpea water) as a vegan substitute. Whip 3 tablespoons of aquafaba until stiff peaks form, then proceed with the recipe.

What’s the best way to melt the chocolate for the glaze?

Use a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently. Avoid overheating, as chocolate can seize or become grainy.

Can I freeze these marshmallows for later use?

Yes! Freeze them in a single layer on parchment paper, then transfer to an airtight container. Thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

How can I make this recipe lower in sugar?

Reduce sugar in the syrup slightly (10-20%) or use a sugar substitute like erythritol, but note that texture and sweetness may vary.

What’s the best way to serve these marshmallows?

Enjoy them as a dessert, with coffee, or as a sweet snack. For presentation, drizzle extra chocolate or sprinkle with cocoa powder or crushed nuts.
