Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cookie Base

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and powdered sugar. Blend well to ensure an even mixture.

Next, add the cold butter and use a spatula attachment to mix it until you reach a crumbly consistency.

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, quickly kneading the dough until well combined. Do not overmix.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4 millimeters (0.1-0.15 inches) and use a 5-centimeter (2 inches) round cutter to cut out circles.

Place the cookie cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, allow them to cool completely.

Step 2

Make the Cream Filling

In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and glucose syrup. Heat the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 118°C (244°F).

While the syrup is heating, begin whipping the egg whites in a separate bowl at medium speed. Add the citric acid once the egg whites start to foam.

When the syrup is ready, slowly pour it into the whipped egg whites in a thin stream while continuing to beat at high speed. Beat until you achieve stiff peaks, which should take about 6-8 minutes.

Transfer the cream to a piping bag and pipe a tall swirl onto each cooled cookie. Let them rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to stabilize.

Step 3

Prepare the Chocolate Glaze

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate mixed with cocoa butter or vegetable oil either over a double boiler or in the microwave using short intervals.

Once melted, allow the glaze to cool to a temperature of 32-34°C (90-93°F) for a thicker consistency.

Dip each Kreembo into the chocolate glaze or drizzle it over the top, letting any excess chocolate drip off.

Transfer the glazed Kreembo back onto parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Your delightful Kreembo dessert is now ready to be served. Enjoy this treat with family and friends!

Servings

Serving Suggestions: 🍰 These delightful Kreembo cookies can be served straight from the fridge for a refreshingly cool treat! Pair them with a steaming cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon snack.

For a fun twist, make a dessert platter with a variety of toppings like crushed nuts or shredded coconut to allow guests to customize their Kreembo experience! 🌰🥥

Equipment

Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer

For achieving those perfect fluffy egg whites, a mixer is crucial. If you don't have one, whisking by hand will work but may take longer!

We recommend:
Cookie Cutters

Round cookie cutters are great for shaping your cookies, but feel free to get creative with any shapes you love!

We recommend:
Double Boiler or Microwave-Safe Bowl

This will be used to melt the chocolate and oil together smoothly.

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations: 🌱 If you're looking to make these Kreembo cookies gluten-free, simply substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure your chocolate is dairy-free to keep it vegan!

For eggless options, you can replace the egg yolk with a flaxseed or chia seed mixture (1 tablespoon of seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, allowed to sit until it thickens). These tweaks will ensure that everyone can enjoy these delicious treats, no matter their dietary needs! 🥳✨

Faq

  • What if my cookies spread too much while baking?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fillings like fruit jams, nut butters, or whipped cream.

    Your marshmallow filling is ready when it forms stiff peaks that hold their shape when piped! This usually takes about 6-8 minutes of mixing.
