Description
Soft, fluffy homemade marshmallows made with simple ingredients. Perfect for snacking, hot chocolate, or gifting.
Ingredients
- 3 packets of unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup of cold water, divided
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup of light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the gelatin with 1/2 cup of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Boil the sugar mixture without stirring for 8–10 minutes until it reaches 240°F.
- Carefully pour the hot syrup into the gelatin mixture. Start mixing on low speed, then increase to high and beat for about 10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and dust with powdered sugar. Pour in the marshmallow mixture and smooth the top.
- Let it set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Turn the marshmallow out onto a powdered sugar-dusted surface, cut into squares, and coat each piece with more powdered sugar.
Notes
- Beat the mixture thoroughly to ensure fluffiness.
- Customize with flavors like peppermint or chocolate.
- Dust marshmallows generously to prevent stickiness.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
