Hi Bold Bakers! Most Homemade Marshmallow recipes contain corn syrup however it is not widely available. I’m sharing a recipe that shows you how to make fluffy Homemade Marshmallow without corn syrup. Also, I’m going to tell you how you can make them vegan as well. Already have an account?
Tips for Making Homemade Marshmallows
Don’t stir your sugar/gelatin mix once it comes to a simmer. It can cause the sugar to crack. Once it cracks, it has to go into the bin. Unfortunately, there’s no coming back from that.
Making Marshmallows Vegan
When a recipe calls for powdered gelatin, replace it with the same amount of powdered Agar-Agar. Using Agar flakes is a different quantity than powdered agar. Replace the gelatin or Agar-Agar with 3 times the amount of Agar flakes.
You do need a candy thermometer to make Homemade Marshmallows. It is an inexpensive piece of kitchen equipment that comes in really handy for the recipes that require it. Note that when you are waiting and waiting for the sugar to reach “soft ball” stage it will seem like it is taking forever. Well it kind of is, but hold your nerve. It will eventually get there.
Cut and store your Homemade Marshmallows in an air tight container for 6 weeks.
