Homemade Boozy Marshmallows
Homemade Boozy Marshmallows
Ingredients
3 packages unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup Kailua (or cold water for non boozy marshmallows)
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
1/4 cup corn starch for dusting
Crushed peppermint for texture
Instructions
1. Place the gelatin in a stand mixer with the Kahlua or water. Using whisk attachment, mix until the gelatin has bloomed.
2. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup water, corn syrup, salt, sugar, and vanilla. Simmer until mixture reaches 240 degrees with a candy thermometer.
3. Turn on the mixer to low and slowly pour hot mixture into the gelatin. Once everything is in, turn the mixer on high and let mix for 10-12 minutes or until the side of the bowl doesn’t feel hot. As the mixture cools it will become white, fluffy, and double in size.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together powdered sugar and cornstarch. Coat the pan with nonstick spray and then dust with sugar-cornstarch mixture.
5. Pour marshmallow mixture into your prepared pan and let cool completely.
6. Cut into desired sized pieces and dust each side with the cornstarch mixture to make sure none of the sides stick. Top with crushed peppermint for texture.
