Biscuit base

  • Chocolate digestives

Chocolate Truffle centre

  • 10.5 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
  • 5 fl oz thickened / heavy cream

Marshmallow trees

  • 6 medium size egg whites
  • 1 cup raw sugar 
  • 1 oz Gutsy Gummies Pine Lime
  • 2 tbsp water (room temp)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Candy thermometer

Chocolate coating

  • 10.5 oz Milk chocolate
  • 3 Tbsp Coconut oil
  1. To make the ganache for the chocolate truffle center, place the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan with 1 cup of water. Heat gently over low heat while stirring constantly until the chocolate and cream are combined and smooth. Remove from the heat, let cool for about 20 mins on the bench, then place in the fridge to set for about 3-4 hours. 
  2. To make the marshmallow, add egg whites and sugar to a large bowl. Ensure there is no trace of yolk in your egg white otherwise they will not fluff up properly. Place the bowl over a saucepan with 1-2 cups of water. Make sure that the bowl doesn't touch the water. Using a whisk, whisk the mixture for about 3 - 4 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture reaches 150F then remove from the heat. In a separate bowl, bloom the Gutsy Gummies Pine Lime by adding the gummies powder to 2 tbsp of room temp water. This rehydrates the gelatin.  Add bloomed Gutsy Gummies and baking powder to the egg white mixture. Beat for about 10 minutes, using an electric mixer or until the marshmallows mixture is thickened, glossy and voluminous. Add mixture to a piping bag.
  3. To assemble, lay down a sheet of baking paper then place the digestive biscuits chocolate side down on the paper. Scoop a dome of ganache onto the digestive biscuits, ensuring there is a flat side against the biscuit. Pipe the marshmallow over the ganache dome ensuring it’s completely covered, then pipe two smaller marshmallow rounds and a little tip for the top of the tree. Set at room temperature for 30 minutes somewhere cool (not the fridge). 
  4. Meanwhile, over another heatproof bowl (or in a microwave in short bursts) melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until fully melted and combined. Place in a glass that is big enough to dip the marshmallow trees in and  set aside.
  5. Dip the marshmallow tree into the melted chocolate, allow excess to drip, then place on a board and in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
