Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Chocolate Ganache* using 1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk) (Enjoy Life chocolate chips for dairy-free)
  • 8 large gluten free marshmallows cut in quarters (or small marshmallows – 1.5 ounces/43g) (Jet-Puffed brand)

Instructions

  1. Make the chocolate ganache in a bain marie (heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of “simmering” water) or in the microwave on medium (#5) stirring ever so often to prevent the chocolate from seizing up. It seizes up when it overheats, even in a bain marie, if the water boils.

  2. Once the chocolate melts, add the marshmallows and microwave
    on Power No. 5, stopping and stirring every 80 seconds for 5 – 7 minutes or until
    the marshmallows melt. If you don’t mind some small bits of marshmallow left
    that are not melted, feel free to stop when you’re ready.

  3. Pour over a cake, chill and then whip with an electric mixer to use as frosting, or chill and use a filling. In my case, I poured it on a crust and chilled and then topped. The filling took about 8 hours to firm up enough to become as thick as truffles. You can also use this to make truffles.

Tips

*Kirkland brand of chocolate chips are no longer dairy free unless your store is carrying the older verion in the white bag. The new bag is mostly red.
