High Maintenance Coffee with Homemade Maple Marshmallows

This deserved a dedicated spot on my website since I’ve been getting so many questions about it over on Instagram. 

I call it – the High Maintenance Coffee 😋  and it’s worth every step!

Trust me.

It might seem strange to add an egg yolk and marshmallows to your coffee, but here’s why I do it — 

Egg yolks are rich in healthy fats, essential vitamins like A, D, and E, and minerals that support brain function, energy, and hormone health. When blended into coffee, the yolk creates a creamy texture. This combination can help stabilize energy levels, curb cravings, and provide a sustained sense of fullness.

I will add, that I never suggest consuming this as a meal or on an empty stomach. Coffee should be enjoyed AFTER you’ve eaten breakfast and truly nourished yourself. You can learn more about how to enjoy metabolically balanced coffee in this post here.

Outside of an egg yolk, the second (and most important addition, in my opinion) is the maple marshmallows! Yes – we are adding marshmallows to our coffee. 

Remember, we’re going high maintenance here!

Homemade maple marshmallows are a delightful and functional addition to your coffee! Sweetened with pure maple syrup or raw honey, they provide a rich, natural flavour that complements coffee’s boldness.

These marshmallows are made with gelatin, which offers unique gut-supporting benefits. Gelatin can help soothe and strengthen the gut lining, supporting digestion and promoting overall gut health.

As the marshmallows melt into your coffee, they create a frothy, caramel-like texture while delivering a dose of collagen-boosting benefits. It’s a cozy, indulgent treat with a nourishing twist! 🍁☕✨

Here’s how to make my High Maintenance Coffee:

First step – froth up your milk. I use my @brevillecanada milk frother. Use whatever milk you prefer.

Second step – To your mug, add one egg yolk + 1 scoop of @eversiowellness 3 mushroom blend. This is my favorite blend, but use what you prefer. Whisk the yolk and mushrooms powder together until slightly frothy. Then add coffee (I make a long espresso). Sometimes I also add a scoop of gelatin.

Third step – top with frothy milk + homemade maple marshmallows (recipe below)

Fourth step – sprinkle with cinnamon or grated chocolate and enjoy 💕

— add ins are optional, you do you! But highly advise adding in the yolk – you won’t even taste it
— marshmallows are key! Don’t skip 😉
— this coffee is best enjoyed alone where no one can bother you. Its what I like to refer to as “don’t talk to me meals” – where it’s just so good you don’t want anyone annoying you so you can fully enjoy all of its goodness 🤣

Vanilla Marshmallows

Samantha Gladish

• 1/3 cup Gelatin
• 3/4 cup Water for gelatin
• 3/4 cup Water for boiling with honey
• 1/2 cup Raw honey or Maple Syrup
• 1-2 tsp Vanilla extract

• In a bowl add gelatin and water. Let this bloom

• Meanwhile, in a pot add – water, raw honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract

• Mix together and warm up for a few minutes. Then add in bloomed gelatin. Mix it all together until gelatin dissolves. Then add to a mixer and mix on high for anywhere from 6-12 minutes until gooey.

• *how long you mix can depend on speed, and whether you use a mixer or hand mixer. I find I need a good 10 minutes.

• Once you get the gooey texture, pour into a brownie pan lined with parchment paper that is oiled. Also oil your spatula.

• Spread evenly, pop into the fridge for a few hours to set. Sprinkle on some icing sugar or arrowroot powder.
