I used to be unable to make fluffy, delicious chocolate character marshmallows due to the unavailability of defatted (ultra low fat at less than 1% fat) cocoa powder. Not anymore with Callebaut's low fat cocoa powder available at Redman now!
These Clodsires are 100% naturally coloured and flavoured. I used to need to add a lot more gel food colouring to get deeper shades of brown or a mix of chocolate paste (artificial chocolate flavour which isn't too yummy) and charcoal powder or black gel colouring. For this creation, only low fat cocoa powder and charcoal powder were used for colouring
Piped marshmallows before dusting
The recipe below is just for the lighter shade of greyish brown for the main body of Clodsire so for a more intense chocolate flavour, you have to tweak the ingredients & process which I can't share here as it's in my class material.
Ingredients:
10g meringue powder*
10g sugar
36g warm water*
100g sugar
3g low fat cocoa powder
0.1g charcoal powder (or a pinch)
1/8 tsp salt
25g light corn syrup
35g water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
7g gelatin powder (bovine or porcine)
28g cold water to bloom gelatin
Cornstarch or a mix of cornstarch and icing sugar for dusting
* May replace with fresh egg whites
See the process of piping in the reel:
Method:
1. Whisk together first 3 ingredients in standmixer. Beat till soft peak

ReplyDeleteThese Clodsire marshmallows are ridiculously cute! 😄 I love that the deeper color comes mainly from cocoa and charcoal rather than relying heavily on artificial coloring. The soft, fluffy texture paired with that chocolatey look makes them feel almost too adorable to eat. After a little baking inspiration, I’d happily take a break at malina casino deutsch.
ReplyDeleteProjects like this are a great reminder that baking can be as much about creativity as flavour. After spending an afternoon experimenting in the kitchen, I usually prefer something completely different for my downtime, whether that means watching a film or browsing online entertainment such as https://kingmakercasino-schweiz.com/. It makes for a nice change of pace after all that careful decorating.
