Homemade Marshmallow FAQs: Your Guide to Fluffy Deliciousnes

Homemade marshmallows are a delightful treat, but they can seem a bit mysterious. We're here to answer all your burning questions about these fluffy clouds of sweetness, and at Fairy Candy Ltd., we're passionate about sharing the joy of handcrafted marshmallows!

What are homemade marshmallows?

Homemade marshmallows are a confection made from scratch. They use simple ingredients like gelatin, sugar, glucose syrup (or corn syrup), water, and flavoring (often vanilla). They're whipped into a light and airy texture and then set before being enjoyed. They are far superior in taste and texture to store-bought versions.  At Fairy Candy Ltd., we use only the finest natural ingredients to create our gourmet marshmallows.

How do you make homemade marshmallows?

Making homemade marshmallows involves several key steps:

1. Blooming the gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water to soften.
2. Making the syrup: Combine sugar, glucose syrup, and water in a saucepan and cook to a specific temperature.
3. Whipping: Pour the hot syrup into the gelatin and whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
4. Flavoring: Add vanilla extract or other flavorings.
5. Setting: Pour the mixture into a prepared pan and let it set for several hours.
6. Cutting and dusting: Cut the marshmallows into squares and dust with powdered sugar.

How long do homemade marshmallows last?

When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, homemade marshmallows can last for a week or even longer. For extended storage (a couple of weeks), freezing them is recommended. Freeze them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and then transfer them to a freezer-safe container once frozen to prevent them from sticking together.  Our marshmallows at Fairy Candy Ltd. are made fresh to order, ensuring maximum flavor and freshness.
