Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Chocolate Coating

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

Make the Marshmallow Filling

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

Assemble the Treats

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

Serve and Enjoy

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!
