Anleitungen
- Have a piping bag with a suitable tip ready. Assemble your cookies.
- For the topping combine agar agar, water, and 200 g sugar in a pot and place on the stove, but don't heat it yet.
- In a large bowl, whisk aquafaba until foamy, for about one minute.
- Add lemon juice.
- Then slowly add 100 g sugar to the mixture.
- Beat the mixture for about 10 minutes until very stiff peaks will form.
- Add guar gum and beat for another minute.
- Add food colouring, if using, and mix until incorporated. (I used 8 g of spirulina powder.)
- Once the mixture is very stiff, transfer to a heat-proof bowl.
- Now bring the agar mixture to a boil and cook for three minutes. Remove from heat and stir briefly, so the sticky bits from the bottom get dissolved.
- Now you need to work quickly: Have the heatprof bowl with the agar mixture and your handheld mixer ready.
- Start whisking the aquafaba mixture again and slowly pour in the hot sugar syrup.
- Once the sugar syrup is incorporated, transfer the mixture to a piping bag with your favourite tip and pipe on top of the cookies.
- Place in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes.
- Melt 300 g of chocoolate in a double boiler.
- Transfer to a mug and dip the marshmallows into the chocolate.
- You can also use a spoon to cover the marshmallows: Place the marshmallows over the mug and drizzle the chocolate all over.
- Place on a cookie rack and let the excess chocolate drain from the marshmallows.
- Transfer to the fridge and let set completely.
