Marshmallow Meringue Icing

January 10, 2020 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Imagine an icing, topping or filling that’s as fluffy as marshmallow but as delicious as a meringue. Well, you’ve found just the perfect recipe if you’re a lover of both.

Whether your wanting to cover a cake, fill a donut, blob on top of a cupcake or smear over top of a lemon meringue pie, this versatile recipe can tick all of those boxes. Plus, did I jut mention lemon meringue! This icing is a match made in heaven and can easily replace any future meringue toppings because of how easy this topping is to make and how delicious it is.

If you don’t believe me, I have and make may recipes here at home that use this exact icing (See two of my recipe links below). To top off it’s toasted flavour and authenticity, blast with a torch for that added char and effect. Stunning!

This just in, I made all of these ones myself. Also, If you saw on the telly, @griffinsbiscuits featured on an episode of TVNZ 2’s Snack Masters, where the iconic ToffeePops took centre stage for the food gurus to recreate this kiwi classic. 

Griffins challenged me to try making them from the comfort of my own home too, consider it ‘Snack Masters at Home - Dane Edition’. Obviously I accepted the challenge to recreate their ToffeePops here at home and I’m pretty impressed with how they turned out.

Now if you have a craving for ToffeePops, it’s also good to know their perfectly proportioned bikkies are still kiwi made and smothered in 5 roll refined and Rainforest alliance certified chocolate. Now that’s worth all that toffee goodness!

How much do you love ToffeePops?
