HYDERABAD: Everyone loves a messy, gooey marshmallow. Throw in some flavours, and it is heaven on earth. The chewy, draggy texture and melt-in-your-mouth confectionery is easily available at supermarkets but they cost a bomb. So why no try making it at home?
Home-baker and owner of Crumbs and Sprinks, Dorcus Rihsika, shows us how.
Ingredients
Hot water | 30 gm gelatin | 250 gm sugar
Method
Pour 120 ml hot water in a bowl, mix 30 gm of gelatine to it
Grease a silicone mould and keep it aside
In a saucepan, mix 250 grams of sugar and 120 ml of water until it forms a thick, string-like consistency
Now to the sugar sauce add gelatine and wait until it becomes thick.
Once cool, blend it till you get a white creamy texture
Add vanilla essence and mix again
Pour the batter into the silicon mould and let it set for 4 hours in at room temperature
Dust it with powered sugar as you cut it into bit-sized pieces
Fun tip: Melt the marshmallow over fire, place it on a biscuit and enjoy a yummy smush
