Decadent Marshmallow Chocolate Coconut Sundae

Ingredients

- 8 marshmallows
- 6 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 8 mini pretzels
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream
- 2 cups coffee ice cream
- 1 blood orange, segmented
- 2 tablespoons popping candy clusters

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. This should take approximately PT2M (2 minutes) total.

2. Toast the Coconut:
Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for PT1M30S (1 minute and 30 seconds), stirring every 30 seconds, until lightly toasted and golden brown. Set aside to cool.

3. Assemble the Sundae Base:
Place four marshmallows on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for PT30S (30 seconds) until soft and puffy. Immediately place two mini pretzels on top of each marshmallow, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Ice Cream Preparation:
Scoop 1/2 cup chocolate ice cream and 1/2 cup coffee ice cream into four individual serving bowls.

5. Creating the Vanilla Bean Swirl:
In each serving bowl, sprinkle a few vanilla bean seeds over the ice cream, gently folding them into the surface to create a subtle swirl effect.

6. Adding the Orange Touch:
Arrange blood orange segments artfully around the ice cream scoops in each bowl.

7. Coconut and Chocolate Drizzle:
Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over each serving. Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the coconut and ice cream.

8. Final Touch with Popping Candy:
Finish by scattering the popping candy clusters on top of each sundae to add a delightful, crackling surprise.
