Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/2 teaspoons (1 envelope) unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup cold water, for gelatin, plus 1/4 cup for syrup
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water. Allow gelatin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water and sugar, and stir over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring, and place a candy thermometer into sugar water; wipe sides of pan with a wet brush if sugar crystals have splattered up. Boil sugar until temperature reaches the soft-ball stage (238 degrees). Remove syrup from heat; add to softened gelatin. Using the whisk attachment of an electric mixer, hand-stir the mixture a few minutes to cool; place bowl on the mixer stand. Beat on medium high with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form and the marshmallow mixture holds shape, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer marshmallow mixture to a large (14-inch) pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch (No. 11 Ateco) tip, and use immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my marshmallows turned out really sticky. They were impossible to pipe and they didn't hold their shape. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

These marshmallows were perfect! I used them to make s'mores and they were the best s'mores I've ever had. The marshmallows were light and fluffy, and they melted perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

These marshmallows were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different extract, like almond or lemon.

These marshmallows were a total disaster! They were too sticky and they didn't pipe well at all. I ended up throwing them out. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm definitely not going to try this recipe again.

I'm not a huge fan of marshmallows, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and they had a nice vanilla flavor. I think I would have liked them even more if I had added some chocolate chips or sprinkles.

I've been making marshmallows for years, and this recipe is by far the best I've tried. The marshmallows are light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and vanilla flavor. I also love that this recipe doesn't require any corn syrup, which
