DIRECTIONS

Frog Marshmallows
1. In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with 3 Tbsp of water. Set aside.
2. In a pot, mix together the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Place over high heat. Attach a candy thermometer.
3. While the sugar mixture is coming up to temperature, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
4. When the sugar mixture hits 235°F, take it off the heat and mix in the gelatin.
5. Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the egg whites and continue to beat on high for 5-7 minutes until you get stiff peaks.
6. Split the marshmallow mixture in half. Mix in red food coloring into one portion. Use a piping bag fitted with a large round tip to pipe out Santa caps onto a sheet of greased parchment paper. Decorate the cap with sprinkles.
7. Mix sifted Culinary Grade Matcha or green food coloring into the other portion of marshmallow. If the marshmallow has started to set, microwave it for 5 seconds. Use a piping bag fitted with both large and small round tips to pipe out frog-shaped marshmallows onto a sheet of greased parchment paper.
8. Use black icing to draw each frog’s eye and mouth.
Shape the Shells
1. Melt one package of chocolate. Mix in the Culinary Grade Matcha. Spoon the Matcha chocolate into semi sphere silicone molds. Coat the insides of the mold evenly with a thick layer of chocolate. Allow to harden completely.
2. Melt the second package of chocolate. Mix in the cocoa powder. Spoon the light cocoa chocolate into semi sphere silicone molds. Coat the insides of the mold evenly with a thick layer of chocolate. Allow to harden completely.
Make the Bombs
1. Fill a light cocoa shell with the contents of 1 Aiya Matcha To Go packet. Also add sprinkles if you’d like to! Finally, place a marshmallow frog inside.
2. To seal a latte bomb, press the edges of a Matcha half shell gently against a warm plate. While the chocolate is still melted, immediately attach the top Matcha shell to the bottom filled cocoa shell.
Create Yoda's Features
1. Draw Yoda’s ears using leftover Matcha chocolate and melted pink chocolate. Allow to harden completely.
2. Attach the ears and eyes to Yoda’s head using Matcha chocolate.
3. Use a toothpick to apply 2 tiny dabs of icing to each eye. Attach a large confetti sprinkle and a small nonpareil sprinkle to each eye.
4. Pipe green icing to create Yoda’s forehead creases, nose, and smile. Pipe beige icing to create Yoda’s scarf.
Enjoy Your Latte
1. Melt 1 Baby Yoda Matcha Latte Bomb into 1 mug of hot milk. Mix thoroughly. Enjoy!
