Instructions
Step 1
Begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate and placing it in a heatproof bowl. Add the coconut oil to help the chocolate melt smoothly.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler effect. Stir the mixture until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and the mango puree. Stir the mixture well.
In a separate small saucepan, combine the agar-agar with a few tablespoons of water and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly for about a minute. Allow it to cool before adding it to the fruit mixture.
In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this into the mango mixture along with the vanilla extract.
Step 3
Dip a spoon into the melted chocolate and fill silicone molds or cupcake liners halfway.
Allow the chocolate to set slightly at room temperature, then add a layer of the marshmallow filling on top. Cover with more melted chocolate to seal it in.
Refrigerate the molds for about 1-2 hours until the treats are fully set.
Step 4
Once set, remove the treats from the molds carefully. Cut or break them into individual pieces if needed.
These treats are perfect for a festive celebration and can be made in advance. Enjoy the delightful combination of chocolate and soft marshmallow on your holiday table!
Servings
When it comes to serving these delightful treats, the options are endless! Picture this: a festive platter adorned with these colorful, chocolatey wonders at your holiday gathering. Each bite brings a smile and whispers of joy among the children and adults alike.
For a delightful twist, consider pairing them with a warm cup of hot cocoa ☕ or a refreshing fruit punch 🍹. Imagine the surprise on your guests' faces when they discover the hidden marshmallow magic inside each piece! Serve them as a centerpiece dessert or as sweet gifts in pretty boxes wrapped with ribbons. What better way to spread holiday cheer? 🎁
Equipment
A sturdy bowl is crucial for mixing your ingredients, especially for the marshmallow. Opt for a large, heatproof bowl for safe handling.

Variations
Want to cater to different dietary preferences? You can easily transform this recipe! For a gluten-free version: simply use gluten-free chocolate and ensure all your ingredients are certified gluten-free. 🌾✌️
For those who are vegan 🌱, swap out traditional marshmallow ingredients with aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) mixed with sugar and a dash of cornstarch for texture. Use dairy-free chocolate for coating, and watch your vegan friends squeal with delight when they savor these treats!
Faq
- What type of chocolate should I use for coating?
For a rich flavor, opt for high-quality dark chocolate, but milk chocolate or even white chocolate can be great options depending on your preference.
- Can I make the marshmallow ahead of time?
Absolutely! These treats can be made in advance and stored in a cool, dry place for several weeks. Just ensure they are well-wrapped!
- How do I achieve the perfect marshmallow consistency?
The key is to whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks and holds its shape. Don’t rush this step!
- Can I add flavors to my marshmallow?
Yes! Feel free to add extracts like vanilla or almond, or even pureed fruits to give the marshmallow a unique twist.
- What type of sweeteners can I use?
If you'd like to experiment, you can use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, but be aware these may change the texture.
- How can I prevent my chocolate from cracking?
Ensure your chocolate coating is tempered properly and let your treats rest at room temperature before storing them in the fridge.
