Marshmallow Sauce
Description
The Marshmallow Sauce starts by blooming gelatin in water, then heating sugar, corn syrup, and salt to a soft ball stage to create a syrup. The hot syrup is added to the gelatin mixture and whipped until thick and fluffy. Vanilla extracts add aroma, and bittersweet chocolate and crushed graham crackers are incorporated to replicate s’mores flavors. The heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk contribute to the rich, creamy texture and sweetness. This sauce offers a light, yet indulgent dessert topping or ingredient.
This sauce can be used to enhance ice cream, cakes, or served as a dip. It is recommended to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to eight weeks. Before serving, mixing or whipping lightly can restore softness if it has set firm. The recipe cautions that corn syrup is essential for texture and cannot be substituted.
