Ingredients
- 3 packages unflavored gelatin 21 grams
- 1 cup cold water 8 oz divided in half
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar 298 grams
- 1 cup light corn syrup or honey 312 grams
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 14 grams
- 2 tablespoons dried marshmallow root finely ground into a powder
- powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Line the bottom and sides of a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray and using a fine mesh sieve, generously dust the pan with powdered sugar. Set aside.
- Pour the gelatin over ½ cup of the cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment; whisk to combine. Let the mixture sit to let the gelatin thicken and "bloom".
- Meanwhile, in a medium-large saucepan, combine the sugar, dried ground marshmallow root, corn syrup (or honey), salt, and the remaining ½ cup of water. Use a pan large enough to safely contain the mixture as it bubbles. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Then, continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the syrup reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer—this should take roughly 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Immediately turn the mixer to medium-low speed and carefully pour in the syrup. Once all of the syrup is combined, gradually increase the mixer speed to high, and beat until the mixture is very thick and fluffy, 10 to 12 minutes. Add in the vanilla.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan and quickly smooth the top. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Let marshmallows sit at room temperature overnight before cutting into them.
- Cut marshmallows into squares or use cookie cutters to cut shapes.
Notes
Use cookie cutters to cut these marshmallows into cute shapes. Or garnish with organic edible flowers, like we did!
