Making your own marshmallows isn’t hard, but you’ll need a heavy duty mixer to stand up to the job.
House-Made Icewine Marshmallows
Makes 40 (one inch) marshmallows
Ingredients
3 packs Knox gelatin
3/4 cup water
2 cup sugar
2/3 cup corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp Icewine Syrup
1 vanilla pod
(Icing sugar for dusting)
Pour 1/2 a cup of the cold water and all the gelatine into the bowl of a stand mixer and soak for 10 minutes. At the same time, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of water, icewine reduction, sugar and corn syrup in a pot. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for one minute. Remove from the heat and add to the mixing bowl with the soaked gelatine. Add the salt and whisk on high for 8 minutes. Then add the seeds from the vanilla pod and whisk for another 2 minutes on low speed just to mix. Line a square cake pan with plastic wrap, spray with non stick. Pour into cake pan and allow to set in a cool dry area (not in the fridge). Once the marshmallows are firm, cut into even squares and dust with icing sugar.
