Scale
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) confectioners sugar
- 1 TBSP plus 1 1/4 tsp unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) cold water
- 1 cups (237 ml) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) light corn syrup
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) hot water
- ? tsp salt
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 TBSP bourbon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 7 scoops chocolate ice cream
- 4 bourbon vanilla marshmallows
- 2 full graham crackers
- 1/4-1/2 cups (59-118 ml) milk
- 2 oz (57 g) milk chocolate
- 1/2 graham cracker
Instructions
- Grease the bottom and sides of an 8 x 8 inch baking pan and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
- Add cold water to a standing mixer bowl and sprinkle gelatin on top.
- In a saucepan, heat granulated sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and boil until it reaches 240°F (116°C), about 5 minutes. Do not stir once heat is increased. Remove from heat and pour into the gelatin mixture; stir until gelatin dissolves.
- Using the whisk attachment, beat on high speed until tripled in volume, white, thick, and marshmallow-like (4-5 minutes).
- While mixing, beat egg white, bourbon, and vanilla with a handheld mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add egg white mixture to the marshmallow mixture; beat until combined. Pour into the prepared pan and sift 2 tbsp confectioners’ sugar on top. Chill uncovered for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Run a knife around the pan’s edge and invert onto a cutting board. Trim edges and cut into desired size.
- Sift remaining confectioners’ sugar into a bowl and toss marshmallows in batches until coated. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
- For optional coating:
- Chop milk chocolate and melt in a bowl in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds. Place graham cracker crumbs in a bowl. Dip the milkshake glass in melted chocolate, then crumbs. Drizzle remaining chocolate inside the glass.
- For milkshake:
- Toast 3 marshmallows. Place toasted marshmallows, 2 graham crackers, chocolate ice cream, and ¼ cup milk in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more milk as needed. Pour into the prepared glass and garnish with additional toasted marshmallow.
Notes
- For a stronger bourbon flavor, increase the bourbon in both the marshmallow and milkshake recipes to 1 tablespoon.
- If you don’t have a kitchen torch for brûléeing, broil the marshmallows in the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Leftover marshmallows can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week; the milkshake should be consumed immediately.
