Homemade Marshmallow Recipe With 3 Flavors
Description
The recipe starts by softening gelatin in water, then cooking a sugar and corn syrup mixture to 240°F, the soft ball stage. The hot syrup is poured into the gelatin and whipped into a thick, fluffy mass while lukewarm. Flavor extracts—vanilla, cocoa powder, mint, and almond—are added to create three distinct marshmallow variants. The marshmallow is spread into pans dusted with cornstarch and powdered sugar to set and avoid sticking.
These marshmallows deliver a light, airy texture typical of homemade treats, with adaptable flavors depending on the extracts used. They can be enjoyed individually, added to hot drinks, or used in baking.
After setting, marshmallows should be cut to size and stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness. The recipe’s process allows for flavor customization while producing soft, smooth marshmallows without artificial additives.
