Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Agar agar powder
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 cup Vegan granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some paper overhangs for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and agar agar powder. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the agar to hydrate.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to dissolve the agar.
Add the granulated sugar and corn syrup to the saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture reaches a syrupy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir to incorporate.
Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and whip on high speed until it turns fluffy and thick, resembling marshmallow cream, about 8-10 minutes.
Quickly spread the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Let it set at room temperature for 1-2 hours until firm.
Once firm, dust the top of the marshmallow slab with powdered sugar. Carefully remove it from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 1-inch cubes.
For the chocolate coating, melt the vegan chocolate chips and coconut oil together using a double boiler, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or dipping tool, immerse each marshmallow cube into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-covered marshmallows on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Once the chocolate is firm, serve and enjoy your vegan chocolate-covered marshmallows!
