Mohrenkoepfe are very different than what we actually call "Marshmallow" in English, which is what the recipe with gelatin is called. The German Mohrenkopf is made with Meringue (Egg Whites) and I too would love the recipe, but I think we need to keep looking online. Do NOT use the gelatin recipe (even if it is the powdered type) because it has a much chewier consistency than the Meringues (unbaked) -- do not bake them. I'm pretty sure they are mostly egg whites and lots of sugar and possibly some cream of tartar to stiffen the meringue when beaten. They must be piped or spooned onto a thin, light wafer (or . . . . into ice cream cones) and dipped into the right type of chocolate that is not thick when set. Hope this was helpful.
