The topic of marshmallows is truly inexhaustible, today I am sharing a recipe for coffee marshmallows. This dessert will definitely appeal to coffee lovers; it’s no more difficult to prepare than classic marshmallows, so let’s get started!

What is the name of marshmallows in coffee?

These small pieces of foam that are placed in a cup are properly called Marshmallow. They are often called marshmallows or marshmallows (because they are small) due to the similar delicate texture, but they are a completely different confection that is more similar to a marshmallow or soufflé.

The composition of marshmallows differs from the marshmallows we are used to: it is made from corn or sugar syrup, gelatin and some additives, and the classic marshmallow is based on egg whites and fruit puree. The similarity lies in the outer velvety coating and some “rubbery” feel. You can also put regular marshmallows in coffee, preferably slightly mashed with a fork, but marshmallow marshmallows look more interesting and beautiful.

Information for those who are interested in the name of coffee with marshmallows: the drink does not have a single name; it could be an Americano, or a latte, or a cappuccino with marshmallows, etc.

Prepare 125 g of applesauce in the most usual way. The recipe for making applesauce can be found here.

Combine applesauce with sugar and place on fire.

If we are preparing berry marshmallows, we boil it down heavily, but since we are preparing applesauce from baked apples, all the liquid has already gone, we only need to dissolve the sugar.

Bring the puree to a boil and simmer for several minutes. The sugar should completely dissolve and the mixture will thicken, with large bubbles appearing on the surface.

Pour the boiled puree with sugar into a bowl where you will beat the marshmallow mass.

Add instant coffee to the hot puree and stir until smooth. Set the puree aside to cool to room temperature.

Cool the puree at room temperature slightly.

The marshmallow mass should be thick, similar to marmalade.

Add egg white to the cooled puree and beat with a mixer, gradually increasing the speed.

It will take 5-7 minutes to beat the homemade marshmallow puree to the desired consistency. The mass should become lighter and very stable, hold its shape well and not fall off the whisk.

Cook syrup for marshmallows.

Theoretically, you can start cooking the syrup and whipping the marshmallow mass at the same time, but if you feel unsure, then do the processes one after the other.

Pour water into a saucepan, add agar-agar, sugar and place over medium heat. Bring the syrup to a boil.

Agar-agar will begin to activate, and due to this, the mass will increase in quantity and foam, this is normal. After the syrup has boiled, it must be actively stirred with a spatula, thereby preventing the agar-agar from sticking to the bottom, but interacting evenly.

In order to bring the marshmallow syrup to the desired stage, you need to keep it on the fire for another 4-6 minutes after boiling. If you push the syrup off the spatula and it falls off in a thick, thick string, the syrup is ready. You can see this state in this video.

Immediately pour the finished hot syrup into the marshmallow mass in a small stream, whisking everything with a mixer at high speed.

Continue beating the mixture for another 5 minutes.

The marshmallow mass should hold its shape well, be fluffy and shiny.

Place the marshmallow mixture into a pastry bag.

Place marshmallow halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Let the marshmallows dry at room temperature for 10-12 hours.

Separate the halves from the parchment.

Properly prepared marshmallows will easily come away from the parchment, leaving slightly visible circles. If large pieces of marshmallow remain, this means that the marshmallow contains a lot of moisture.

Glue the marshmallow halves together and roll in powdered sugar. Shake the powder well.

Store marshmallows in a closed container for several weeks.

And remember, the fresher the marshmallow, the softer and airier it is; over time, it acquires its density and becomes more similar to store-bought.

How to drink coffee with marshmallows

In general, technique is not the main thing, what is important is to enjoy this unusual drink. There are no uniform rules. For example, you can do it like this:

• Turn the marshmallows over one at a time, waiting for them to completely turn into sweet foam. Drink carefully so that the coffee and marshmallow flavors and textures mix in your mouth.
• Shake the whole mixture. An option for impatient sweet lovers. Beat everything with a spoon, the texture of the drink will be more homogeneous.
• Wait until the marshmallows melt on their own.
• Through a thick tube. Let the marshmallows melt while you enjoy the more coffee flavor. In this case, it is necessary that there is no grounds at the bottom.
• The shake with whipped cream and marshmallows can be eaten with a spoon from a cup.

When the bulk of the marshmallow melts and turns into a foamy layer, you can additionally place small marshmallows on it. You will enjoy the difference in textures while chewing on the soft, warm soufflé.

Calorie content of coffee with marshmallows

It seems that the marshmallows weigh almost nothing, and you only add a small amount of them, but this impression is deceptive. This is a fairly high-calorie product, as it is made from starch, sugar or syrup, and contains other additives. And the more mashmallows you put in your drink, the higher the calorie content it becomes. Milk, chocolate, cream and sugar further increase the energy value of the drink.

On average, the calorie content of marshmallow marshmallow is about 330 kcal per 100 grams. Place about 30–50 grams in a cup, depending on how dense the foam you want to get. That is, a cup of black coffee with marshmallows added to it contains from 100 to 160 kcal (this is without sugar and milk!), and maybe up to 450 kcal if you add additional ingredients, fillers, syrups, etc.
