Homemade Marshmallow

  Colourful Marshmallows 



 Ingredients:

- 3 packages (20 g each) unflavored gelatin

- 1 cup cold water, divided

- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

- 1 cup light corn syrup

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Food coloring (assorted colors)

- Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

1. **Prepare Pan**: Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and dust it generously with powdered sugar.


2. **Bloom Gelatin**: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine gelatin with 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it sit while you prepare the syrup.


3. **Make Syrup**: In a saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Then insert a candy thermometer and boil until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C), which is the soft ball stage.


4. **Whip Gelatin**: With the stand mixer on low speed and using the whisk attachment, slowly pour the hot syrup into the gelatin mixture. Increase the speed to high and whip until the mixture becomes very thick and lukewarm, about 12-15 minutes. Add vanilla extract during the last minute of whipping.


5. **Color Marshmallows**: Divide the mixture into separate bowls if you want to make different colors. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until evenly colored.


6. **Assemble Marshmallows**: Pour the colored marshmallow mixtures into the prepared pan, alternating colors if desired. Use a greased spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the pan.


7. **Set Marshmallows**: Let the marshmallows sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.


8. **Cut and Serve**: Once set, dust the top of the marshmallows with powdered sugar. Use a greased knife or cookie cutters to cut the marshmallows into squares or shapes. Dust the cut edges with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.


Enjoy your homemade colorful marshmallows! They're perfect for snacking, hot cocoa, or gifting.
