Ingredients
Scale
- 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin (about 21g)
- 1 cup cold water, divided
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Place gelatin in the bowl of a stand mixer along with 1/2 cup of cold water to bloom.
- In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage).
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin.
- Increase the mixer speed to high and whip until the mixture is very thick, white, and lukewarm, about 10-12 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and mix just to combine.
- Dust a 9×13 inch pan with confectioners’ sugar. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the pan and smooth the top.
- Let the marshmallows set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Dust the top with more confectioners’ sugar, then cut into squares and coat all sides with additional confectioners’ sugar.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of peppermint extract instead of vanilla or dust marshmallows with cocoa powder for a chocolate twist.
