DARK CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW

225g Sugar

95g Water

12g Powdered gelatin

65g Water (to rehydrate the gelatin)

130g Egg whites

100g GUANAJA 70% chocolate

10g Cocoa powder

Dissolve the powdered gelatin in cold water.

Cook the sugar and water at 230°F (110°C).

Add the melted gelatin and combine with the beaten egg whites.

Beat at a constant medium speed until firm.

When the marshmallow is still warm, use a spatula to stir in the melted GUANAJA 70% chocolate and the cocoa powder.

When the mixture reaches 100/120°F (45/50°C), pour it into a piping bag without a nozzle and pipe it into the “bear cubs” silicone mold greased with grape seed oil.

Leave to set for 12 hours.
