Description
A quick and elegant dessert topping made by toasting vegan marshmallows in a skillet until golden and crisp, then finishing them with a pinch of flaky sea salt for a fancy-looking sweet crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large vegan marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat for about 1 minute and lightly brush the surface with the vegan butter.
- Arrange the vegan marshmallows in a single layer in the skillet, leaving space between them so they can spread.
- Let the marshmallows melt undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, then gently nudge them if needed so they stay separate.
- Continue cooking for 1 to 2 more minutes until the bottoms and edges are deeply golden and lacy.
- Carefully slide a thin spatula under each marshmallow round and transfer them to a plate or parchment-lined tray.
- Cool for 20 to 30 seconds, just until flexible, then leave them flat or break them into shards.
- Sprinkle with the flaky sea salt and use immediately over ice cream, mousse, pudding, or cheesecake.
Notes
- Use low to medium-low heat so the marshmallows caramelize instead of burning.
- For best texture, garnish desserts just before serving.
- Store cooled shards in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
