Description

Deliciously fluffy and customizable homemade marshmallows that elevate your hot cocoa and desserts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar and cornstarch (for dusting)
  • Optional: Food coloring or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin onto cold water in your mixer bowl and let it soften.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and a splash of water; heat until boiling and reaches 240°F.
  3. With the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot syrup into the softened gelatin.
  4. Increase mixer speed to high and mix for 10-12 minutes until thick and white, adding vanilla in the last minute.
  5. Dump the mixture into a pan dusted with the powdered sugar-cornstarch mix, smooth the top, and dust more mix on top.
  6. Chill for a few hours, cut into pieces, and dust each piece with more powdered sugar-cornstarch mix.

Notes

Store in an airtight container with extra powdered sugar and cornstarch to prevent stickiness. Best consumed within a week at room temperature or longer when refrigerated.
