Materials / Ingredients

  • 310 g sifted icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp unflavoured oil
  • 18g ground gelatine
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 180ml water

  • baking dish
  • Mixer
  • Bowl
  • Pan and stove
  • dough scraper
  • Spoon
  • Sieve
  • Possibly cookie cutter
  • knife
  • fresh holding foil

Instructions

Prepare the baking dish so that the mixture does not stick:

Mix 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch

Spread a baking dish very thinly with oil

Sift the icing sugar/cornstarch mixture onto the bottom of the baking dish

||

For the marshmallow mixture:

Whisk together the gelatin, salt, vanilla sugar, and the water

Let this mixture swell for 5 minutes

In a pan, heat gently but do not boil until the gelatine has dissolved

||

Meanwhile, sift 300g icing sugar into a mixing bowl

||

Add the liquid to the icing sugar, stirring, and whip with a mixer until thick and fluffy, about 5-10 minutes, until you have a fluffy loose crème.

Add food coloring if desired.

||

Now pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smooth out and cover with plastic wrap.

||

It now needs to rest for at least four hours to set.

Tip: The mixture will set faster in the refrigerator. About 2 hours is enough

||

Once set, rub the mixture thinly with the remaining starch mixture,

Use a knife to loosen from the edge and turn out.

||

Now cut the marshmallows into cubes

Or cut them out with cookie cutters.
