3/4cuppeach juice
2tsppeach extract, optional
1tablespoonagar gelatin
1 1/2cupswhite granulated sugar
1tablespoonlemon juice
food coloring; optional
2cupsdark chocolate melts
1/4cupwhite chocolate chips
sprinkles and edible pearls, for garnish
20treat sticks
Instructions
Prepare all your equipment first before starting the recipe. Once your marshmallow mix is done, you'll need to work fast as it sets quickly. Line 2 to 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Arrange the treat sticks on the paper/mats. Prepare a large pastry bag with an open or closed star tip; I used Ateco #847.
Place the egg whites into a very clean stand mixer bowl; set aside for now.
Pour the peach juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle in the agar gelatin. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Begin adding the sugar gradually, stirring after each addition until the sugar is absorbed. Once all the sugar is added, continue to cook the syrup over medium heat until it reaching its boiling point. Boil the mixture for 2 minutes.
When the syrup is almost ready, whisk the egg whites on high speed to soft peak stage. One the syrup is ready, pour it into the mixing bowl in a slow and steady stream, with the mixture running on medium speed. Once all the syrup is added, pour in the lemon juice and add a few drops of food coloring. Turn the mixer up to high speed and whisk for 5 to 7 minutes, until the meringue is super fluffy and begins to set.
Quickly transfer the marshmallow into the prepared pastry bag. Pipe generous dollops onto the prepared parchment paper/silicone mats; pipe each dollop over a treat stick. If making marshmallow sandwiches, pipe the second half onto a sheet of paper without the treat stick. Allow the treats to stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
NOTE: the marshmallow can be made into simple sandwiches, without a treat stick. Once the marshmallow is piped, sprinkle it lightly with confectioner's sugar.
For the chocolate garnish, melt the dark chocolate melts in a tall measuring cup. Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl, then transfer into a disposable bag. Dip each pop half-way into the melted chocolate and set back down onto the paper/mat. Garnish the top with sprinkles, edible pearls and/or drizzled white chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set completely, then enjoy!
