Instructions
Steps to Make
Prepare the Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until combined.
Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then cook without stirring for about 10 minutes.
Bloom the Gelatin
In a small bowl, mix gelatin with 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms.
Combine Everything
Once the sugar syrup reaches the desired temperature, remove it from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until fully dissolved.
Whip the Mixture
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and beat on high speed until it becomes thick and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
Add Color and Flavor
Optionally, add food coloring and flavor extract, mixing until well incorporated.
Pour into Molds
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the silicone molds, smoothing the tops if needed.
Set and Dust
Let the marshmallows set for at least 4 hours. Once set, remove from molds and dust with powdered sugar.
Your blooming rose marshmallows are now ready to be enjoyed!
Storing Your Marshmallows
Once your marshmallows are set and dusted with powdered sugar, storing them properly will ensure their freshness and deliciousness. Keep your marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their fluffy texture and flavor. If you live in a particularly humid climate, consider adding a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.
Homemade marshmallows can last for about 1 to 2 weeks when stored correctly. However, they are best enjoyed fresh, so we recommend making just enough to share and savor on the spot!
Using Your Silicone Mold
Silicone molds are an excellent investment for making marshmallows and other confections. They provide easy release and can be reused repeatedly, making cleanup a breeze. Beyond crafting these exquisite blooming rose marshmallows, consider using your silicone molds for chocolates, ice cubes, or gelatin desserts. The versatility of these molds can inspire continuous creativity in the kitchen.
When pouring the marshmallow mixture into the silicone molds, take care to fill each cavity evenly to ensure a uniform appearance. If necessary, tap the mold gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and achieve a smooth finish on your marshmallows.
Ideas for Serving
These blooming rose marshmallows can be served in a variety of delightful ways. Consider adding them to hot chocolate or coffee for a sweet and decadent twist. Their beautiful design makes them perfect for topping off desserts like cakes and cupcakes, impressing your guests with both taste and presentation.
For a fun and interactive twist, think about setting up a s'mores station at your next gathering. Provide graham crackers, chocolate, and your homemade marshmallows for guests to toast and assemble their own delicious treats. The combination of flavors will create an unforgettable experience that everyone will enjoy!
