Also, be sure to check out the trailer for my NEW SERIES on ISAtv! :D Super excited about this one, click the link below to see it!

*Forgot to show adding in the vanilla extract, but also add in 2 T of vanilla extract after whipping marshmallows for 8-10 min if desired!

Homemade Marshmallows
Makes about 16 large marshmallows, or 64 one inch marshmallows

Ingredients

1 cup water
3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ tsp salt
2 T vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup corn starch

Directions
1. Grease a 9” x 9” square pan with butter. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, pour in ½ cup water and sprinkle gelatin on top.
3. In a medium saucepot, bring ½ cup water, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt to a rolling boil (rapid and large bubbles) and boil for 1 min or until a candy thermometer reads 240 F. Do not stir while mixture is cooking, and be careful! This mixture is extremely hot – ask an adult for help if you’re not comfortable handling the boiling sugar syrup.
4. Mix gelatin mixture a few times to break up the clump, and slowly drizzle in sugar syrup along side of bowl. Turn to high speed and whip for 8-10 min until thick and fluffy.
5. Immediately pour into prepared pan, and spread out with an offset spatula. Use a greased sheet of plastic wrap to smooth out marshmallow, and leave to sit for 6 hours or preferably overnight.
6. Sprinkle a work surface with powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture, and turn out marshmallow slab. Cut with a greased knife, and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar/cornstarch if needed.

For coffee marshmallows:
Replace 1 cup of water with 1 cup of strongly brewed coffee. If desired, add 1 tsp of espresso powder to whipped marshmallow mixture. Omit vanilla extract

I added ¼ cake mix for the “cake batter” marshmallows, but as I mentioned, I don’t recommend it! It deflates the marshmallows (but it does give them a cake flavor :-)

Tip: To clean saucepot, just fill with warm water and let soak for 1 hour. The sugar will dissolve quickly, and the pan will be completely clean!

I don't know why but I just really enjoy watching people make delicious food. It's pleasing to watch and probably my aesthetic.

Heres an idea for Adventure Time fans:
Add some red and blue colouring to your mix
Cut the marshmallows like Lumpy Space Princess shape.
Add the star on the marshmallows

LSP marshmallows, very lumpy

I just made the basic version of these! Awesome recipe. My batch whipped up super quick in my stand mixer. I did end up having to boil the mixture for more than one minute to get it to reach the proper temperature. If anyone is attempting this one (almost two years later) you should totally invest in a thermometer. I used my digital probe and it worked perfectly.

When finishing these with the powder blend I did half of them with the powdered sugar/corn starch combo and the other half I added a teaspoon of nutmeg to the mix. A tasty tweak IMO.

Thanks for this recipe! I can't wait to try some flavours as gifts for the holidays.
