Best 5 Rockin Orange Marshmallow Treats Recipes

ORANGE MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup corn starch and ½ cup powdered sugar.
• Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray. Use a paper towel to wipe off extra oil. Dust the pan very generously with the powdered sugar mixture to cover. Set aside.
• Place the orange zest in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• In a measuring cup, combine the orange juice and water.
• In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, place the gelatin and half of the orange juice mixture. Mix everything slightly with a fork. Set aside and let the gelatin bloom.
• In a small saucepan, combine the leftover orange juice mixture, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Cook over medium-high heat with lid on for 2 minutes. Remove the lid. Attach a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan. Turn the heat to medium and continue to cook until the sugar mixture has reached 240˚F, about 7 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
• Mix the gelatin mixture quickly. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the sugar mixture down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once all sugar mixture has been added, increase the mixer to high speed. Whip until the mixture turns very thick and is lukewarm, about 12 - 15 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the orange zest and vanilla extract. If using food coloring, add at the last 2 minutes of whipping.
• When the marshmallow mixture is ready, quickly transfer to the prepared pan with a spatula. Spread the mixture evenly. Dust with more powdered sugar mixture to cover. Save the rest of the powdered sugar mixture.
• Let the marshmallows to rest at room temperature uncover for at least 6 hours, best for overnight.
• Prepare a cutting board lightly cover with powdered sugar mixture. Run a thin knife around the edges between the marshmallow and the pan. Turn the marshmallows out onto the cutting board. Lightly grease a large sharp knife with nonstick cooking spray. Wipe off extra oil. Cover the knife with the powdered sugar mixture. Cut down firmly into the marshmallow and make 1-inch squares or desired shapes. Cover all sides of the marshmallow squares with more powdered sugar mixture until not sticky.

ROCKIN' ORANGE MARSHMALLOW TREATS

BLOOD ORANGE AND COCONUT MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Line a 13x9 1/2" rimmed baking sheet (or use a 13x9" baking pan; marshmallows will be a bit taller) with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Place 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment and sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Stir granulated sugar, blood orange juice, and 2 tablespoons corn syrup in a small saucepan fitted with thermometer; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until thermometer registers 230°.
• Meanwhile, add remaining 3 tablespoons corn syrup to gelatin mixture. As soon as thermometer registers 230° and with mixer on high speed, add blood orange syrup to gelatin mixture, drizzling down the side of the bowl. Beat until soft, collapsing peaks form and bowl feels cool to the touch, about 5 minutes.
• Mix in red food coloring, adding more to reach desired color.
• Working quickly, scrape blood orange mixture into prepared pan; smooth into an even layer with an offset spatula lightly coated with nonstick spray. Let cool.
• Place 1/4 cup water in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment and sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Stir granulated sugar, coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons corn syrup in a small saucepan fitted with thermometer; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Cook until thermometer registers 230°. Meanwhile, add remaining 3 tablespoons corn syrup to gelatin mixture. As soon as thermometer registers 230° and with mixer on high speed, add coconut syrup to gelatin mixture, drizzling down the side of the bowl. Beat until soft, collapsing peaks form and bowl feels cool to the touch, about 5 minutes.
• Working quickly, scrape coconut mixture over blood orange layer; smooth with offset spatula. Let sit, uncovered, at least 12 hours before cutting. (Marshmallow will be firm but springy when pressed.)
• Dust a cutting board with powdered sugar. Gently run a paring knife around the edge of the pan to release marshmallow and invert onto cutting board. Cut marshmallow into 3/4"-wide strips and roll in powdered sugar. Coil into glass jars for gifting, or cut into 2" pieces and roll in any remaining powdered sugar.

HOMEMADE ORANGE MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch straight-sided baking pan. Dust liberally with sifted powdered sugar and set aside.
• Pour 1/2 cup water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow to soften, about 10 minutes.
• In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk and 1/4 cup water. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 240 degrees F, about 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the syrup over the gelatin mixture. Beat the mixture at low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and beat until thick, fluffy and tripled in volume, about 10 to 12 minutes. Beat in the orange zest and vanilla extract until just combined. Using a spatula, scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with orange decorating sugar. Allow the mixture to set, uncovered, in a cool place (not refrigerated) for at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove the marshmallows from the pan and place on a powdered sugar-dusted surface. Using scissors, dusted with powdered sugar, cut the marshmallows into about 1-inch squares. Dip the cut sides into powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
