When it comes to Candy there is two candy I love the most salt licorice candy and marshmallows; my favorite marshmallow is homemade and is rolled into shredded coconut, the combination of coconut and marshmallow is just so fluffy and delicious.

These are fun to make and so pretty for any party if you make them into pastel colors.

And these are so yum, can´t you tell?

FLUFFY PASTEL COCONUT MARSHMALLOWS; 

ingredients;

  • Two tablespoons unflavored powder gelatin
  • 3/4 cup ( 180 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup ( 225 gram ) sugar
  • 3/4 cup ( 180 ml) light corn syrup or fluid glucose, divided
  • 1/3 cup ( 80 ml ) water
  • One teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • Food coloring, optional
  • shredded coconut

 

  • In a medium bowl whisk the gelatin powder and ¾ cup cold water in a small bowl; let sit for 5 minutes to dissolve.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar and cornstarch
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, ⅓ cup water, and half the corn syrup.
  • Clip a candy thermometer to the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, continuously stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • The syrup needs to reach 240°F (120°C), so keep an eye on it.
  • Meanwhile, pour remaining light corn syrup in a standing mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment
  • Microwave gelatin mixture on high until completely melted, about 40 seconds.
  • Start the mixer on low speed and gradually pour into the mixer bowl and leave the mixer running at low speed.
  • Prepare a piping bag fitted with a wide round nozzle # Wilton 1 A and set aside for now.
  • Spray an X-Large Round silicon Mold with easy bake spray and set aside.
  • Once the syrup reaches 240°F (120°C), gradually add the sugar syrup slowly to the mixer bowl and beat for one minute on low speed.
  • Increase speed to medium-high and beat for about 5 minutes more.
  • If you would like to have, pink colored marshmallows add a drop or two of pink food coloring, followed by vanilla bean paste, just mix until all is combined.
  • The marshmallow mixture should have doubled, and almost tripled in volume.
  • Stop the mixer and quickly scoop the marshmallow mixture into a prepared piping
  • Pipe the marshmallow batter as quickly as possible onto the holes of the prepared silicon molds.
  • If you like more colors, you need to make two more batches with different colors, and repeat the same thing.
  • Dust the top with shredded Coconut coating.
  • Let dry until set, about 30 -50 minutes.
  • Pop out the marshmallow and roll each one in the shredded coconut, so they are completely coated.
  • Leave the marshmallows on the table to dry for a few hours and enjoy!
