Categories     Candy     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Gourmet     Fat Free     Kidney Friendly     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Small Plates

Yield 64 marshmallows

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil for brushing pan
1 cup water, divided
3 (1/4-ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
10 or more drops of red food coloring
About 1 cup confectioners' sugar for coating marshmallows
Special Equipment
A 9-inch square metal baking pan; a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment; a candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Brush bottom and sides of metal pan with some vegetable oil.
  • Put 1/2 cup water in bowl of stand mixer and sprinkle gelatin over it. Stir it briefly to make sure all the gelatin is in contact with water and let it soften while making the syrup.
  • Heat sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then bring to a boil over medium heat, without stirring.
  • Put thermometer into syrup and continue boiling, without stirring, until it registers 240°F (soft-ball stage). Remove from heat and let stand until bubbles dissipate.
  • With mixer at low speed, pour hot syrup into gelatin in a thin stream down side of bowl. Increase speed to high and beat until very thick and the mixture forms a thick ribbon when beater is lifted, about 5 minutes. Beat in peppermint.
  • Quickly scoop about two-thirds of still warm marshmallow into another bowl. Add the red food coloring to the remaining one-third marshmallow and beat it to combine.
  • Working quickly, fill the prepared pan with alternating dollops of the white and pink marshmallow (it will be very sticky), then swirl a knife through the mixture to marble it. Smooth the surface with dampened fingertips. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature until surface is no longer sticky and you can gently pull marshmallow away from sides of pan with your fingertips, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Using a sieve, dust a cutting board with confectioners' sugar. Use a spatula to pull sides of marshmallow from edge of pan, then invert onto cutting board. Dust top with confectioners' sugar. Cut lengthwise into 8 strips, then crosswise into eighths, to form a total of 64 squares.
  • Coat marshmallows, one at a time, in confectioners' sugar, shaking off excess.

HOMEMADE PEPPERMINT MARSHMALLOWS



Homemade Peppermint Marshmallows image

Peppermint marshmallows are easy to make; they get their red swirl from a quick marbleizing technique.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes sixteen 2-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
4 packages (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons red food coloring

Steps:

  • Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray; line bottom with parchment paper. Coat the parchment with cooking spray, and set pan aside. Put sugar, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring; let mixture come to a boil. Raise heat to medium-high; cook until mixture registers 260 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over 3/4 cup water in a heatproof bowl; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Set the bowl with the gelatin mixture over a pan of simmering water; whisk constantly until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in extract; set aside.
  • Beat egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. Whisk gelatin mixture into sugar mixture; with mixer running, gradually add to egg whites. Mix on high speed until very thick, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour mixture into lined pan. Working quickly, drop dots of red food coloring across surface of marshmallow. Using a toothpick, swirl food coloring into marshmallow to create a marbleized effect. Let marshmallow stand, uncovered, at room temperature until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh peppermint extract for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the marshmallow mixture by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • To make the vanilla swirls, use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the vanilla extract into the marshmallow mixture.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle the marshmallows with crushed candy canes or peppermint pieces before they set.
  • Store the marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peppermint vanilla swirl marshmallows are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their light and fluffy texture, sweet and minty flavor, and festive appearance, these marshmallows are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
