Muffins with marshmallow cream are a delicate treat inspired by Yugoslav culinary traditions. Their airy dough, infused with the aroma of vanilla, perfectly complements the soft, sweet filling of meringue cream. The dark chocolate glaze adds richness to the flavor, creating a harmonious blend of sweetness and slight bitterness. These muffins are perfect for a festive tea party or a cozy evening with loved ones. The marshmallow cream, chilled to the perfect consistency, gives the dessert an unmatched texture, while the chocolate shell makes it visually appealing. Topped with jam or marmalade, these muffins become true works of art that delight not only in taste but also in appearance.
