15 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces unsalted butter 110 grams or ½ cup or vegan butter
  •  cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk or non-dairy milk
  •  cups all-purpose flour
  •  cup white sugar
  • ½  cup water
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
  • ½  cup coconut oil**

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ / 175℃.
  • In a large bowl, mash the butter with the powdered sugar.
  • Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, milk and flour. Mix until a dough forms. Use your hands to shape it into a block. Wrap in plastic and place in fridge for 20 mins.
  • Roll out the dough and cut out circles about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on nonstick baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until slightly golden. Re-roll out the unused dough into new circles. After baking let cool on wire rack.
  • For the marshmallow filling, add the sugar and water to a pot. Watch the temperature with a candy thermometer. On medium heat, stir often and be careful not to let the sugar burn. When it hits 220℉/104℃, beat the 2 egg whites in a large bowl until very fluffy. When the sugar water hits 243℉/117℃ pour it slowly into the egg whites. Whip the mixture until it stiffens up and looks like marshmallow!
  • Pipe the marshmallow onto the cookies.
  • For the chocolate coating, melt the chocolate and add the coconut oil. Mix well. Pour over the crembos. It helps to use a spoon. If the marshmallow is very stuck onto the cookie, you can also dip it into the chocolate.
  • Carefully move the crembos onto a clean tray. Allow about an hour to cool or place in the fridge before serving. 
  • **NOTE: An extra tip for the chocolate: everyone’s chocolate and coconut oil are different, so after you melt the chocolate, add the coconut oil one tablespoon at a time until is drips off a spoon smoothly and quickly.
