Caramelized Yams With Toasted Marshmallows Recipes

BEST CANDIED YAMS WITH MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 2 pieces of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
• Mash drained yams in a large bowl with a fork. Add ingredients in the following order, mixing well after each addition: brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and heavy cream. Pour mixture into two 8-inch square baking dishes. Sprinkle 1/2 of the marshmallows over each dish and cover with aluminum foil, spray-side down.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

CARAMELIZED YAMS WITH TOASTED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. and spray a large, rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, toss yams with butter. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 20- 25 minutes, tossing the yams to rearrange midway through baking.
• Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, brown sugar, salt and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cook, until mixture is syrupy and reduced by about a third (about 5 minutes).
• Brush roasted yams with glaze. Carefully scoop yams into to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. (Make ahead tip: At this point you can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Bring them to room temperature, then microwave them until hot and continue with the recipe).
• Sprinkle marshmallows on top and place under a broiler until marshmallows are warm, toasted and gooey. Keep an eye on it so you don't burn the marshmallows!

DARK CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM WITH CARAMELIZED ALMONDS AND TOASTED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Place dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and salt in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mix sugar and milk powder together in a small bowl.
• Place 1 3/4 cups milk and cream in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Whisk the sugar mixture into the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, whisking to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
• Mix 2 tablespoons milk and tapioca together into a small bowl. Whisk into the hot dairy mixture.
• Whisk 1/3 of the dairy mixture into the bowl of melted chocolate. Repeat twice more, whisking well until smooth. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Strain mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Make caramelized almonds and toasted marshmallows before churning the ice cream.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
• Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, milk, and salt in the skillet. Stir until melted together and smooth. Bring to a boil; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in almonds until coated. Pour onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool completely before breaking up into uneven pieces.
• While almonds are cooling, spread marshmallows out on the second baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Churn ice cream according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, about 20 minutes. Layer ice cream, almonds, and marshmallows in a freezer-safe container. Freeze until firm enough to scoop, at least 4 hours.
