Instructions:

1. Whip the Egg Whites:
Using an electric mixer, beat the 4 egg whites continuously at a steady speed until they become fluffy and pale.

2. Add Sugar Gradually:
While mixing, add the sugar one spoonful at a time. After each addition, mix thoroughly until fully dissolved before adding the next.

3. Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of water with 1½ teaspoons of gelatin powder. Melt it gently using a double boiler (bain-marie) for about one minute.

4. Flavor It:
Add ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of citric acid to the melted gelatin. Stir well.

5. Combine and Fold:
Gently fold the gelatin mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula until fully incorporated.

6. Pipe the Mixture:
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag. Pipe it onto pre-cut ice cream cones, keeping the piping bag perfectly vertical for neat shapes.

7. Add Chocolate Magic:
Melt your preferred chocolate and drizzle generously over the piped marshmallow cones.

8. Chill:
Refrigerate the cones for 2 hours to set.
