Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer add the lime juice, then sprinkle the gelatin over that and stir together to combine, set aside.
- In a medium sized saucepan stir together the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Turn the heat to medium, stir a couple of times then heat the mixture until it reaches 240ºF on a candy thermometer.
- Pour the syrup into the bowl with the lime juice gelatin mixture then use the whisk attachment to stir it up to combine. Attach the whisk to the mixer and beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds to really combine everything then crank it up to high speed and beat until the mixture has almost doubled in volume and the outside of the bowl is just warm to the touch, at least 7 minutes.
- WHILE THIS HAPPENS: Spray the tiniest amount of nonstick spray in each cavity of the mold and use your fingers to evenly coat the mold. Pulverize the mango in a food processor and set aside. Prepare the sugar Tajín coating by combining the sugar and Tajín. If you want to tint it then combine in a zip top bag with a few drops of the food coloring then massage it around. Transfer to a bowl for coating.
- Once the marshmallows are done remove the bowl, tap the whisk attachment on the inside of the bowl to knock out any stuck marshmallow then quickly fold in the pulverized mango and transfer to the piping bag, snip off the tip and pipe into the prepared mold.
- Once it’s all piped in there you can pat it down if needed by dipping your finger in water to make sure the marshmallows don’t stick. Let the peeps set for 2 hours then carefully pop them out of the mold and roll them into the sugar Tajín mixture.
- If you want to add the eyes you can melt the chocolate in a small zip top bag then snip off the tiniest hole in a corner and pipe the eyes out.
