Ingredients
Jars
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Toasted coconut cashew crumble (optional)
- 3/4 cup chopped cashews
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
marshmallow fluff
- 90 grams egg whites
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
marshmallow fluff
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, whip the egg whites until they’re frothy (you can also use a hand mixer!). It's important that your bowl is super clean and doesn't have any oil residue, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping. Add in the cream of tartar and salt, then whip to soft peaks.
- When they reach soft peaks, you can turn off the mixer and start making the syrup.
- In a medium/large pot, combine water, honey, and maple syrup. Set on the stove, turn the heat to medium and let the mixture cook until it reaches 240ºF. Try to not disturb it, but if it starts to bubble too high, simply lower the heat just slightly. I recommend using a candy thermometer, however if you don't have one, this typically takes about 10 minutes.
- Remove the syrup mixture from the heat. While the mixer is going on medium, slowly pour into the egg whites. Once the syrup is all added, increase the speed and whip until the mix is thick and glossy (about 5 minutes). Add in the vanilla and whip for another minute, then pour into a storage container and serve or store.
Toasted coconut cashew crumble
- Toast the cashews and coconut. Lay on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for minutes until golden.
- Add to a bowl along with the almond butter, maple, and sea salt. Mix well.
Assembling the cups
- Slice your strawberries thin.
- Layer: strawberries, melted chocolate drizzle, cashew crumble, a little marshmallow fluff. Note: If you don't want these incredibly sweet, you can just add the marshmallow fluff on top rather than doing layers!
- Enjoy straight away!

Notes
Storing marshmallow fluff: It is best enjoyed within 3 days, but will last in an airtight container at room temp for up to a week. Don't store in the fridge.
Leftover crumble: if you have any leftover crumble, store in an air-tight container and use on top of yogurt, etc!
