Tips

  • No mini marshmallows? Snip large ones into small pieces with oiled scissors.
  • Toast the almonds in a dry pan for 3 to 4 minutes, then cool them before adding.
  • Walnuts or roasted peanuts work in place of the almonds.

Why it works

Cocoa whisked into softened cream cheese and sugar dissolves evenly with no cooking. Marshmallows stay soft and chewy in the freezer because they are mostly sugar.
