Homemade vanilla marshmallow is a dessert that will pleasantly surprise you with its lack of artificial additives. Instead, you will get a delicate and airy taste that melts in your mouth. Perfect for tea parties and as a gift for loved ones.

This marshmallow sets quickly and you can enjoy it 6-8 hours after preparation. The cooking does not require special efforts, and the result will definitely charm you.

To add a bright aroma and softness, we use a combination of vanilla extract and paste, which enhances taste sensations and adds an unforgettable aroma to each serving.

Variations

- It can be made without gelatin by using agar-agar at a temperature of 110-115°C.

- Instead of corn syrup, use sugar syrup, but the texture may become less airy.

- Marshmallow can be shaped into various figures using a piping bag or by spreading into a mold.

Tenderness and Flavor Secrets

- The exact syrup temperature of 115°C is critical to achieving the perfect consistency of the mass.

- Beating the mass for 10-11 minutes enriches it with air, making the marshmallow exceptionally tender.

- Adding both vanilla extract and vanilla paste provides an intense aroma with visible vanilla specks.

Ingredient Tips

- Use plain gelatin powder without additives or pre-soaked sheet gelatin.

- Corn syrup prevents crystallization and ensures a smooth, uniform texture.

- Kosher salt is used in half the amount compared to regular table salt.

Culinary Nuances

- When cutting, lubricate the knife with vegetable oil so that the marshmallow does not stick to the blade.

- Strictly follow the water proportions, as excess water can lead to stickiness in the finished product.

- The longer the marshmallow rests in the mold before cutting, the better it holds its shape and becomes denser.
