Directions
Prepare
Provide 2 dozen good marshmallows and make 1 dozen sandwiches by placing 2 teaspoonfuls of jam between two marshmallows.
Bake and serve
Place the sandwiches in a baking pan and bake in a very hot oven for a moment until they puff.
Take out, put 2 sandwiches on a small plate for one service, covering with a tablespoonful of whipped cream and a bit of jam on top.

What each ingredient does
- Marshmallows
- Soften and puff in the oven, forming the soft, chewy body of each sandwich.
- Jam
- Adds sweetness and fruity flavour between the marshmallows.
- Whipped cream
- Adds richness and a smooth, creamy topping for serving.
The step that matters
Baking the sandwiches. Heat must be brief and very hot so the marshmallows puff and soften without melting away completely. Leaving them in too long lets the sugar collapse and the sandwiches lose their shape.
