Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Gelatin
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cups Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Unsweetened dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (for chocolate)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with coconut oil, then dusting with a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water. Allow it to bloom while you prepare the sugar syrup.
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and the remaining 1 cup of water. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves.
Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring until it reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage), approximately 8–10 minutes.
Remove from heat and gently pour the hot syrup into the gelatin mixture with the mixer on low speed. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat until thick, fluffy, and cool enough to touch, about 12-15 minutes. Add vanilla extract in the last minute of mixing.
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan, using a slightly greased spatula to smooth the top. Let it set at room temperature for 4 hours or overnight.
Once set, dust the top with cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture. Turn out onto a cutting board and cut into squares with a lightly greased knife.
In a microwave or double boiler, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil together until smooth.
Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or speed up the process by refrigerating the marshmallows.
Store chocolate-covered marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
