Artisanal Marshmallows shaped as Hearts and Mittens are perfect for winter hot cocoa and so easy to make at home using a silcone mold. Can life get much cozier?
Lightly spray inside of your silicone mold(s) with non-stock spray.
Combine gelatin and 2 Tablespoons cold water in a mixer bowl. Let the gelatin soften at least 10 minutes. Add vanilla to the gelatin.
Combine granulated sugar, corn syrup and 2 Tablespoons of water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook without stirring to 240° F
When the sugar mixture reaches 240° F, gradually pour syrup into the bowl with the gelatin. Beat on high speed until the mixture is thickened and white but still slightly viscous (to spread into mold corners), about 5 minutes. Mixture will double in volume.
Scrape the marshmallow into a piping bag or zip loc bag (cut out the corner after filling zip loc if using). Pipe into prepared molds
Let marshmallows sit in molds for about 6 hours. Invert mold cavity and pull gently to release marshmallow if needed.
Notes
Use organic ingredients for organic marshmallows, or conventional if you prefer or have trouble sourcingThis makes a small quantity (I have zero willpower) so consider doubling it if you want to have extras (click the 2X on the ingredients line).
