Equipment

  • Cocktail Shaker
  • stand mixer
  • Margarita Glasses
  • food thermometer

Ingredients

  • 7 1/2 Cup Chocolate Ice Cream
  • 3 3/4 Cup Espresso Coffee
  • 2 1/2 Cup Silver Tequila

Marshmallow Cream

  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Large Egg Whites
  • 1/4 Tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Marshmallow Cream

  • In a medium heat proof bowl add the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Place the bowl on top of a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of simmering water.
  • Continuously whisk until the sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. The mixture will get frothy, and you’ll know it’s ready when the thermometer reads 160 degrees.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, add the frothy egg mixture and the vanilla extract. Mix on high for 5 minutes.

Drink

  • Dip the rim in the marshmallow cream. Press down lightly and twist a couple times, then pull up fast. Using a kitchen torch, toast the marshmallow cream around the rim while holding the glass upside down. Take your time here you can burn the marshmallow cream.
  • In a cocktail shaker add the chocolate ice cream, espresso, tequila, and a few ice cubes. Shake for about 10 seconds until combined, then carefully pour into your margarita glasses.

Notes

  • Eggs are safe to eat when heated to 160 degrees so make sure the egg whites reach that temperature before putting them in the stand mixer bowl. 
  • The marshmallow cream can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • We found it easier to keep the marshmallow cream in the mixing bowl when dipping the glasses.
  • If your making a few drinks at a time and using the cocktail shaker just know the bottom will get very cold when you shake the drink.
  • If you want to make all the drinks at once then use a large pitch and a spoon to stir the drink.
  • You can make this virgin by omitting the tequila.
  • If you don’t have tequila you can use Vodka or Mezcal.
  • We don’t recommend store-bought marshmallow cream. As it is very sticky and hard to work with. Homemade is very soft and manageable.
  • To clean the glasses, use dish soap and warm water. Dry with a micro cloth.
  • The best way to torch the marshmallow cream is to do it upside down. This helps create really cool peaks on the glass.
  • We recommend only 2 ounces to help balance the flavors. If you want a stronger drink you can add more.
