Ingredients
- 300 g Marshmallows (One standard 300 g pack, cut into quarters for easier melting)
- 200 g Kataifi (shredded phyllo dough) (Also called confetti dough, toasted until golden brown)
- 60 g Unsalted Butter (Divided: 30 g for toasting kataifi, 30 g for marshmallow mixture)
- 200 g Pistachio Cream (Spreadable pistachio paste, similar to Nutella but pistachio flavored)
- 100 g White Chocolate (Any good quality white chocolate, broken into pieces for melting)
- 50 g Chopped Pistachio Nuts (Roughly chopped, adds texture to the core)
- 30 g Skim Milk Powder (Helps the marshmallow set quickly; can substitute with skim milk liquid (100 ml))
- 30 g Cocoa Powder (For final dusting, unsweetened)
- 30 g Ground Almonds (Used for almond‑flavored coating)
- 2.5 ml Strawberry Flavoring (Half teaspoon of liquid strawberry essence)
- 2 drops Red Gel Food Coloring (Just enough to tint the strawberry batch pink)
- 20 g Dried Strawberry Powder (Finely ground dried strawberries for coating)
- 5 g Biscoff Spread (One teaspoon, for the biscoff‑flavored core)
- 10 g Matcha Powder (For the matcha‑flavored core)
- 15 g Tahini Sauce (Optional, adds a subtle nutty note to the pistachio core)
Instructions
Toast the Kataifi
Melt 30 g butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the kataifi and stir continuously until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Medium heat
Make Pistachio‑White Chocolate Core
While the kataifi is still warm, add the pistachio cream and broken white chocolate pieces. Stir until fully melted and combined, then fold in the chopped pistachios. The mixture should be glossy and coat the kataifi evenly.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Medium heat
Portion and Freeze the Core Balls
Using a medium ice‑cream scoop (≈25‑28 g), scoop the pistachio‑kataifi mixture onto a foil‑lined baking pan or silicone mold. Shape into smooth balls and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours until firm.
Time: PT2H
Prepare Marshmallow Coating
Grease a spatula with a thin layer of butter. In a clean nonstick saucepan, melt the 300 g marshmallows with the remaining 30 g butter over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, whisk in the skim milk powder until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: Medium heat
Cool the Marshmallow
Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a greased plate and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or until it thickens enough to handle without sticking to gloves.
Time: PT15M
Coat the Frozen Cores
Divide the cooled marshmallow into four equal portions (one for each flavor batch). Place a frozen core ball onto a portion of marshmallow, gently roll to fully encase it, and shape into a smooth sphere. Repeat for all cores.
Time: PT10M
Add Flavor‑Specific Coatings
For pistachio‑almond batch, roll the marshmallow‑coated balls in ground almond powder. For strawberry batch, dust with a mix of dried strawberry powder and a pinch of skim milk powder, then add a few specks of red strawberry powder on top. For matcha batch, roll in matcha powder. For biscoff batch, roll in finely ground biscoff cookies. For classic chocolate‑pistachio, dust with cocoa powder.
Time: PT15M
Final Chill
Arrange the fully coated cookies on a parchment‑lined tray and return to the freezer for at least 1 hour to set the marshmallow shell completely.
Time: PT1H
Serve or Store
Remove cookies from the freezer, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container as described in the storage section.
Time: PT5M
