Ingredients
Scale
- 12 round biscuits or cookies (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 large marshmallows
- 1 cup (240 ml) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsps (30–45 ml) milk (for icing)
- 1 orange gel icing pen
- 1 black gel icing pen
- Assorted candies (mini M&Ms, sprinkles, or licorice for buttons and scarves)
Instructions
- Prepare Icing: Whisk powdered sugar with milk until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency that flows effortlessly over the biscuits.
- Set Up Workspace: Line a flat surface with parchment paper and arrange biscuits ready for decorating.
- Ice Biscuits: Generously pour icing over each biscuit, allowing it to drip dramatically down the sides to create a melted snow effect.
- Create Snowman Head: Microwave marshmallows briefly to soften, then carefully place one on top of each iced biscuit as the snowman’s head.
- Add Facial Features: Use black icing to carefully draw eyes and mouth on the marshmallow, bringing the snowman character to life.
- Finishing Touches: Pipe a tiny orange icing carrot nose, then embellish with small candies or sprinkles to represent buttons or a scarf.
- Set and Serve: Allow the decorated biscuits to rest for 20-30 minutes, giving the icing time to completely set before serving these whimsical winter treats.
Notes
- Icing Consistency Matters: Achieve a smooth, pourable icing by gradually adding milk to powdered sugar, ensuring it’s fluid enough to cascade but not too runny to lose definition.
- Marshmallow Technique: Microwave marshmallows for just 3-5 seconds to soften without melting completely, creating the perfect malleable texture for the snowman’s head.
- Precision in Decoration: Use a fine-tipped piping bag or toothpick for intricate facial details, allowing precise control when creating eyes, mouth, and carrot nose.
- Cooling and Setting: Let biscuits rest in a cool, dry area for 30 minutes to allow icing to set completely, preventing smudging and maintaining the delicate melted snowman design.
