Artisanal Marshmallows
Description
Artisanal Marshmallows uses gelatin softened in cold water and vanilla for a fragrant, soft confection. The hot syrup made from granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water is cooked to a precise temperature (240°F) before being slowly combined with the gelatin. High-speed beating incorporates air, creating a thick white mixture that doubles in volume and remains flexible for molding.
The mixture is piped into lightly sprayed silicone molds and allowed to set for about six hours. Once set, the marshmallows can be removed from the molds gently. The recipe produces a small batch and suggests doubling for more quantity.
This method allows control over flavor and texture compared to store-bought marshmallows. Using unflavored gelatin ensures a tender bite without toughness, while the corn syrup prevents crystallization of the sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons water cold
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons gelatin unflavored
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Lightly spray inside of your silicone mold(s) with non-stock spray.
- Combine gelatin and 2 Tablespoons cold water in a mixer bowl. Let the gelatin soften at least 10 minutes. Add vanilla to the gelatin.
- Combine granulated sugar, corn syrup and 2 Tablespoons of water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook without stirring to 240° F
- When the sugar mixture reaches 240° F, gradually pour syrup into the bowl with the gelatin. Beat on high speed until the mixture is thickened and white but still slightly viscous (to spread into mold corners), about 5 minutes. Mixture will double in volume.
- Scrape the marshmallow into a piping bag or zip loc bag (cut out the corner after filling zip loc if using). Pipe into prepared molds
- Let marshmallows sit in molds for about 6 hours. Invert mold cavity and pull gently to release marshmallow if needed.
Notes
- Use organic ingredients if you want organic marshmallows, or conventional if that is easier to find.
- This recipe yields a small batch; double the ingredients if you want more marshmallows.
