Description
Think you can’t make marshmallows at home? Think again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 packages of unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup Kahlua (or cold water for non-boozy marshmallows)
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
- 1/4 cup corn starch for dusting
- Crushed peppermint for texture
Instructions
- Place the gelatin in a stand mixer with the Kahlua or water. Using the whisk attachment, mix until the gelatin has bloomed.
- Combine ½ cup water, corn syrup, salt, sugar, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Simmer until the mixture reaches 240 degrees with a candy thermometer.
- Turn the mixer low and slowly pour the hot mixture into the gelatin. Once everything is in, turn the mixer on high and let mix for 10-12 minutes or until the side of the bowl doesn’t feel hot. As the mixture cools, it will become white, fluffy, and double in size.
- In a separate bowl, mix together powdered sugar and cornstarch. Coat the pan with nonstick spray and then dust with sugar-cornstarch mixture.
- Pour marshmallow mixture into your prepared pan and let cool completely.
- Cut into desired-sized pieces and dust each side with the cornstarch mixture to make sure none of the sides stick. Top with crushed peppermint for texture.
