Homemade Marshmallows
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup corn starch
1 cup ice cold water, divided
3 packages unflavored gelatin powder
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
5-6 drops red food coloring
Cooking spray
1.Combine powdered sugar and corn starch in a small bowl. Sift half of the mixture over 3 sheet trays to coat. Reserve the other half of the mixture for later.
2.Pour 1/2 cup cold water into a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Sprinkle in the gelatin powder and let it dissolve and soften, about 15 minutes.
3.In a heavy bottomed saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, combine 1/2 cup water, sugar, corn syrup and sea salt. Over medium heat bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it reaches 240F or the soft-ball stage. Immediately remove from heat.
4.Turn the stand mixer on low and break up gelatin. With the mixer running slowly pour hot sugar mixture over the bloomed gelatin. Slowly turn the mixer up to medium speed and continue to beat the mixture for 15-20 minutes; it will become light, fluffy, white in color and triple in volume. Add vanilla and food coloring and beat 1 minute.
5.Prepare a large pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Spray the inside of the pastry bag with cooking spray. Transfer the marshmallows to the pastry bag and pipe stars onto the prepared sheet trays, making sure to leave space between each marshmallow. Sprinkle the finished marshmallows with the remaining sugar and cornstarch mixture. Let sit at room temperature for a couple hours or overnight.

You can also use a hand mixer to make marshmallows but you will have to whip the mixture a little longer than in the stand mixer! Safety first...Be sure to combine the hot sugar syrup and gelatin in a large, heat-proof bowl with high sides and start the hand mixer on low speed. When the mixture combines and begins to grow in volume, turn the hand mixer up to medium-high speed.

[@hungry]

It's best to use unflavored gelatin to make the marshmallows since flavored gelatins usually contain other ingredients that could alter the recipe. You can flavor marshmallows easily by stirring in your favorite extracts or coating the outside with crushed cookies, coconut flakes or dipping them in melted chocolate, the options are endless!

[@GM-ie4yy]

Best. Marshmallows. Ever. So impressed with the styling and actually, it is why I came on KZbin looking at marshmallow recipes - I wanted to see if it would be possible to get them round rather than square like in store bought. This is light years better! My kidlets are keen as mustard to make these stat.

[@chefmeganmitch]

The corn syrup easily washed out of my hair with warm water. No permanent scars!! :)

[@JessDifferent]

I feel like trying lots of different flavours like strawberry and peppermint. If I make them, I'll tell you which flavour is best ;) ps: I had no hair for ages too! But I would have bows VELCROD

[@rayvettabryant7028]

Love your story about corn syrup on head to hold bows, I had a nice chuckled. :) thanks for sharing your recipe too.

[@chefmeganmitch]

Golden syrup has more flavor than regular corn syrup. I used corn syrup because it just adds sweetness to the marshmallows and lets the vanilla come through. With golden syrup it might over power the other flavors. I read somewhere that they are interchangeable. Let me know if you try it! Thanks for watching.

[@Wildcard242]

Just made this and it was everywhere! Stuck to everything ... Starting to think the marshmallow man was misunderstood. On a positive note my hands are really soft where the marsellow was

[@sorarabanana1010]

I actually like ur voice somehow is this normal *^*

[@greenbluered2428]

No

[@morganf.doublewood1952]

Just a quick question, no egg whites? I'm curious...

[@Scarlett4Zanzibar]

She tell you to add 1/2 cup of ice water to the mixture in the bowl and the "rest of the water" to the pan on the stove. What does "the rest" mean? Half a cup? One cup? Arrrgh! She suggests a teaspoon and a half of vanilla, but it sure looks to me like she poured in much more than THAT. She is good, entertaining and to the point, which I like, but for novices like myself, every detail is important. SO … how much water goes into the pan. And if one doesn't have a pastry bag, can I just dollop or spread and cut this stuff?

[@kotsu94]

In the description it says 1 cup ice cold water, divided so half a cup mate :) and you can just pour the mixture on the powdered tray and then coat the top with the powdered mixture again get some backing paper over the top and spread it out. Let it set for 4 hours or so and slice it up :) (coat the sides again after you cut it so its not sticky)

[@rakdoss8455]

It doesn't matter how much water goes into the pan with sugar as long as it's enough to make a syrup. It mostly evaporates anyway and the temperature you're seeking (240F) always has the same % moisture.

[@Scarlett4Zanzibar]

Ahh. Thank you! :)

[@cherylcurrin8326]

Yes u can

[@RecipeWars]

I think I'm in the minority in that the nude video actually made me kinda happy. I mean, after looking at our host all day, seeing a hot naked man doesn't suck. Still, this is a great tutorial. I love pouring the marshmallow mixture into a big sheet tray/brownie dish and cutting out weird shapes.

[@syedarahman6217]

muslim are not supost to eat anything that has gelatin in it,so can i use something else instead of gelatin powder?? please reply...thanks

[@joosvanhulten4122]

In the video of the angry birds peeps you don't use the corn syrup and in my country we don't have corn syrup so I could use that recipe?

[@hsmfan008]

Oh thank God..if I'd seen "homemade marshmallows...nude" I would've gone crazy. Plus that would've been some sticky mess...

[@12345bananahead]

thecook: i wouldn't make this for a bunch of guys they would not understand me: your right i don't understand, it's gay

[@rickmcmorrin5227]

Could you use agar agar strands like the ones you find from the asian markets and how many would you need or the weight?

[@chriscastelonia7763]

they just gave you a typical cooking show and you're still complaining? stop leaving negative comments on every video.

[@aliciajoohee]

wow you make it look so simple. i have to try it out but with my friend's help :) thanks for sharing this smashing recipe!!!! i love ittttttttt

[@mecoolunot6662]

[@anthanagore]

I'm just watching, and it's beautiful. And I don't even like marshmallows, see what i mean ?

[@jeanmaillard6001]

I've tried to mix the hot syrup in a big bowl made of glass..... it exploded in my arms!!

[@DehTinoco]

aw come on, why wont you do this for a bunch of dudes? We like candy .-. I do at least.

[@smudgeAU]

There are heaps of vegan gelatin alternatives... mostly made from seaweed.

[@lukebukikosa1593]

Can you use something as a substitute for the corn starch and corn oil?

[@KadiiSpurling]

In Russia, it's called Zefir.

[@habibullahahmed9412]

Kadii Spurling German

[@6lilrayray]

[@MeKaLuVsU1234]

[@derpbawsful]

[@debradelarue9717]

Dont wantto shock the gelatin???? Wtf

[@gaminggod2001]

Pewd's? this is a cooking channel dude how did you get here

[@alexanderjimenez7650]

Couldn't you have used fluffy egg whites?

[@greenbluered2428]

Am I allowed to just use icing sugar instead of cornflour

[@kirinrosenbaum]

Could you use flavored gelatin for flavored marshmallows?

[@geminiproject062]

Hey man. Dudes can appreciate pink marshmallows, too. :P

[@RenzoCookin]

Don't wanna shock the gelatin, its very easily startled

[@gogumarshmallow]

is it possible to make this without the stand mixer?

[@rourou101]

Can you use golden syrup instead of corn syrup?

[@sugarcoder]

Thanks for showing us how to make this. It looks sweet and tasty!

[@caerulea0]

Does the cooking spray not add a flavour to the mallow though? Also how do you get that sweet pinky flavour with the pink marshmallows

[@GM-ie4yy]

caerulea0 She added bourbon vanilla to flavour, but did you know that oftentimes colours trick us into thinking flavour has been added when it is the same as plain!? So who knows, colour might be the only difference in store bough. There are studies on how colour affects flavour perception! I don't think a plain cooking spray (like canola, bad for you as it is) would have much flavour at all, but I won't be using olive oil spray. :)

[@junglescope]

LOL I met Katy Perry in 2011. She was great.

[@Ariesqt0323]

that childhood story was very disturbing

[@TeodoraEremija-]

[@000muna000]

there is no way you can replace the unflavored gelatin. you can get it from any main supermarket or grocery stores and they come in different forms (hard or powder).

[@fatmaahmed3067]

do you have to make corn surup

[@itsmewhatsup82]

Katy perry dreams come true LOL

[@simmeringlight]

1:24-1:28. Your mom put karo syrup on your head to hold up a bow? How effective is that? Would that not attract bees, flies, hummingbirds, and holy moly an underworld of all kinds of flying creatures?! Even land creatures like dogs and cats love syrup. I curious as to her reasoning. Was she trying to make you popular with the animal kingdom? :-D

[@derpbawsful]

Katy Perry Blew me Away..

[@quiddmitch]

Finally a good normal video. I love Megan :)

[@cookieco5668]

I followed the recipe, and whipped my marshmallows but it turned hard in the machine, it was tough to take out of the bowl i even sprayed the scraper to remove the mellow out of the bowl. I heated until 240F. What did i do wrong? Over whipped? Thanks Peter

[@aliciatinker3285]

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

[@StephmollyMoo]

[@Rockman707]

[@RonFloyd]

If you heated the sugar to caramel temperature, would it ruin the marshmallows, or just give you caramel flavored marshmallows?

[@lyzettemcmaster6780]

You would be making toffee then ...

[@mrderpman123]

[@rainbowlollipopish]

[@peaceoutbear34]

[@kaylaeverson1228]

[@aleishamistry5361]

Ur so pretty!!!:)xx

[@RandomBros88]

question.. can one incorporate alcomahol into the batch of mallows somehow?

[@kelsbentley2822]

As a liqueur for flavor at the end, perhaps, since the vanilla extract is alcohol based, but not in large quantities. No more than a couple teaspoons.

[@RandomBros88]

Wonders if one can get drunk off enough vanilla lol.. A couple teaspoons, good enough for me. Plus I wanted to say you're pretty :)

[@kelsbentley2822]

Lol, wrong alcohol for drinking. I'd be impressed if someone could slam Vanilla extract. It's quite vile undiluted. And thank you very much. :)

[@lisalibert6577]

[@JunsTako]
