STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOWS

HOMEMADE

Homemade Strawberry Marshmallows are simple and fun to make at home. These Valentine marshmallows will be a sweet treat for your sweetheart.

Water

INGREDIENTS

Unflavored gelatin

Granulated sugar

Light corn syrup

Egg whites

Cream of tartar

Freeze dried strawberries

Cornstarch for dusting

 Confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Pour ¼ cup of the water into a small microwavable bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften the gelatin and let it absorb the water.

INSTRUCTIONS

Put one cup of the granulated sugar, the remaining 3 tablespoons of water and the corn syrup into a small saucepan. Put the pan over medium heat. Once the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble, wash down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water.

Meanwhile, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar and remaining granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Turn the mixer on low speed. Once the sugar mixture comes to a rolling boil, increase the mixer speed to medium. 

Put the softened gelatin into the microwave and heat for about 20 seconds to melt the gelatin. Remove the sugar from the heat, add the melted gelatin, and stir with a wooden spoon until completely combined. 

Increase the mixer speed to high and carefully pour in the hot sugar syrup in a slow steady stream directly onto the whites between mixer bowl edge and outer reach of whisk.

It's a really easy recipe, and I hope you enjoy them for Valentine's or any other day of the year!
