Confection is always better when there's a surprise inside!
These vanilla marshmallow Christmas bears have a yummy surprise inside that complements the marshmallow very well --- a ball of KitKat treat! The richness from the chocolate and light crunch from the wafer layers breaks the monotony of vanilla marshmallow so well!
Vanilla marshmallow ingredients:
10g meringue powder (I use Wilton)*
35g drinking safe water (warm)*
10g caster sugar
10g meringue powder (I use Wilton)*
35g drinking safe water (warm)*
10g caster sugar
100g caster sugar
1/8 tsp salt
25g light corn syrup
30g water
1/2-1 tsp vanilla extract or essence
7g gelatin powder
28g ice cold water
Other ingredients:
Cornstarch or cornstarch mixed with icing sugar (for dusting)
Desiccated coconut (furry bits on hat)
KitKat bites (hidden surprise)
Dark brown coloured mini Crispearls (for eyes & nose)
Ng Chee Lee's red powder food colouring
* You may replace 2g of warm water with lemon juice to temper the sweetness further without having a noticeable lemon flavour. You may replace meringue powder and water with the same weight of fresh egg whites if you prefer.
