Lime & coconut marshmallow

The magic of these lime coconut marshmallows comes alive when served in a variety of fun and delightful ways. If you're planning a cozy night in, try floating a few in your hot chocolate or coffee for a burst of tropical flavor. Planning a party? Arrange these beauties on a decorative plate, sprinkled with a dusting of confectioner's sugar and a few extra coconut flakes for that irresistible finishing touch! For an elegant dessert, pair these marshmallows with a citrusy sorbet or a tangy fruit compote. The soft bite of the marshmallows contrasts beautifully with the refreshing zing of the fruit. If you're feeling especially indulgent, melt some dark chocolate and dip the marshmallows halfway in, letting them cool on parchment paper for a treat that’s as lovely to look at as it is to eat. For the kids (or the kid in you), transform these marshmallows into fun shapes using cookie cutters, and serve them at birthday parties or picnics. They can also be a fun addition to your camping trip – imagine the delight of roasting these fluffy confections over a campfire, capturing that delightful toasted coconut aroma. However you choose to enjoy them, these marshmallows add a special touch to any occasion.

For a gluten-free version of this delicious treat, ensure all your ingredients are certified gluten-free. This means double-checking that your coconut flakes, sugar, and any other additives are not processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing grains. To make a vegan version, you can replace the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). Use the same quantity as you would for egg whites, and whisk until you achieve stiff peaks. Also, use agar powder as a gelatin substitute, and ensure any sugar or sweeteners you use are vegan-friendly. With these adjustments, everyone can enjoy these delightful marshmallows!
