Strawberry Marshmallows Recipes

Steps:

• Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. Line dish with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides; oil parchment. Set dish aside.
• Pour 2/3 cup cold water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle with gelatin; let stand until softened, 5 minutes.
• Stir together granulated sugar, jam, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Continue to boil until syrup registers 238 degrees on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage).
• Add syrup to gelatin. Beat on low speed until slightly cooled. Gradually raise speed to high, beating until mixture is cool and peaks form, 30 to 40 minutes. Mix in red food coloring, one drop at a time, to achieve desired shade of pink.
• Pour mixture into prepared pan; smooth surface. Let stand, uncovered, until firm, about 3 hours or overnight.
• Dust a cutting board with confectioners' sugar. Run a knife around edges of marshmallow to loosen; unmold onto cutting board. Peel off parchment. Lightly coat a large sharp knife with oil; cut marshmallow into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces, coating knife with more oil as necessary. Dust with confectioners' sugar; toss to coat completely.

Steps:

• Prepare a 9x13 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil liberally with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place 1/2 cup of the water and the strawberry puree in the bowl of a large stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and stir briefly to distribute. Let gelatin sit and dissolve for at least 5 minutes.
• Place remaining 3/4 cup of water, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, and insert a candy thermometer.
• Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it reaches 240 degrees on the thermometer. Brush down the sides occasionally with a wet pastry brush to avoid crystallization. While the candy cooks, briefly run the mixer on low to ensure the gelatin and puree is well-mixed.
• Once the candy reaches the proper temperature, remove it from the heat immediately. Turn the mixer to low, and slowly pour the hot syrup into the mixer bowl. Be careful, as the syrup is extremely hot. If you have a large (at least 3 cup) liquid measuring cup with a spout, you can transfer the hot syrup to the cup before pouring to make it easier.
• Gradually increase the speed of the mixer until it running on high. Whip the marshmallow mixture for 10 minutes, or until it is stiff and shiny. You can tell it is done when you stop the mixer and lift up the beater, the marshmallow will slowly drip back down into the bowl in a thick, shiny stream.
• Pour the marshmallow into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Allow it to sit and firm up at room temperature for at least 10 hours.
• Sift the powdered sugar and cornstarch together. Cover your workstation with waxed paper to protect it, and liberally sprinkle the surface with the sugar/starch mixture. Sprinkle the top of the marshmallow with the sugar/starch coating, and flip the marshmallow face down onto the prepared surface.
• Carefully peel back the foil from the marshmallow, and sprinkle the top of the marshmallow slab with the coating powder. Spray a large smooth-bladed knife with nonstick cooking spray, and coat both sides with the coating powder. Cut the marshmallow into squares, coating the knife blade with sugar/starch as needed. Roll the cut edges of the marshmallows in the coating mixture so that all sides are smooth and not sticky.
• To save marshmallows, store them in a dry airtight container in a temperate, dry location. Do not refrigerate them or keep them in a very humid place. If they are stored longer than two or three days, you may need to re-roll them in coating. Fresh marshmallows go stale after about a week, so these are best eaten soon after they are made.

Steps:

• Toast the marshmallow: Thread marshmallow onto a metal skewer and hold over medium-high heat, rotating, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sandwich 2 small rectangles of milk chocolate, 2 toasted strawberry marshmallows and a few strawberry slices between 2 ladyfingers.

Steps:

• Whisk together the cornstarch and confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and dust with the cornstarch mixture. Set aside. Reserve the remaining cornstarch mixture.
• Puree the strawberries in a blender until very smooth. Strain into a medium saucepan and add the granulated sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue to boil until the temperature reaches 240 degrees F.
• Stir together the gelatin and 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
• Turn the mixer to low and carefully pour the warm syrup into the gelatin. When you have added all of the syrup, turn the mixer to high and beat until the mixture is very thick and holds stiff peaks, about 15 minutes. Add enough food coloring to turn the marshmallow a pale pink, 3 or 4 drops.
• Coat a rubber spatula with cooking spray and scrape the marshmallow into the prepared baking pan. Grease your fingers and gently press the mixture into the pan, smoothing the surface. Dust with the cornstarch mixture, reserving the remaining for removing the marshmallow. Let the marshmallow dry out at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Sift some more of the cornstarch mixture onto a work surface and turn the marshmallow out onto it. Dust the top. Use a sharp knife to cut the marshmallow into approximately 1 1/4-inch squares, cleaning the knife as necessary between cuts. Dust the squares with more of the cornstarch mixture to coat.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper with cooking spray.
• Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted, about 2 minutes.
• Working one at a time, make sure each marshmallow is evenly coated in the cornstarch mixture but there are no big clumps on the surface. Dip about one-third of the marshmallow into the chocolate and put it on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top with sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows. Freeze or refrigerate the marshmallows until set, about 5 minutes. Store at room temperature up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Thread 4 long metal skewers with 5 marshmallows and 4 hulled strawberries each. Carefully hold over a campfire or gas stove, turning slowly, until the marshmallows are toasted. Stir a pinch of salt into caramel and drizzle over the top. Sprinkle with hazelnuts or biscuits, if you like. The marshmallows will be very hot, so allow to cool for a min or so before eating.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and cook to 240 degrees F (116 degrees C) or until a the mixture makes a wispy thread when dripped from a spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Set aside for just a second while you start the egg whites. If it starts to look weird, give it a quick stir. The gelatin mixture may look grainy, but it will smooth out once it gets mixed in.
• Whip egg whites in a clean dry bowl to soft peaks. If you have a stand mixer, use it, otherwise you may need a helper to whip while you pour. Slowly pour, or spoon the sugar mixture into the egg whites while continuing to whip to stiff glossy peaks. Use to frost a cake or cupcakes. This frosting does not need to be refrigerated.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350.
• Generously grease a 13x9 pan.
• Sprinkle marshmallows over bottom of pan.
• In a bowl, combine mashed stawberries and gelatin and set aside.
• Make cake batter according to package directions.
• Spread batter over marshmallows in pan.
• Spoon strawberry mixture evenly over batter.
• bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. DO NOT OVER BAKE.
• Place cake on wire rack to cool.
• When cake is cool you can invert on platter and serve with whpped cream.

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire on one side of your grill.
• Thread the strawberries and marshmallows alternately on 4 skewers (if using wooden skewers, pre-soak them). Lightly brush the slices of bread with olive oil.
• Place the skewers directly over the fire and grill for about 4 or 5 minutes until the marshmallows have browned.
• At the same time, grill one side of the bread. Turn the slices over and move to the indirect side of the grill. Place a piece of chocolate on each slice and sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt. Remove from the grill when the chocolate is soft but still holds its shape.
• Serve the skewers with the grilled bread for a grown-up version of s'mores.

Steps:

• Put all but 2 strawberries into a pan along with 100ml water and the sugar. Over a medium heat, cook strawberries until soft enough to mash, about 3 mins. Take off the heat and squash the berries, using a fork, until pulpy. Add the marshmallows, then stir them into the hot strawberries until they dissolve. Leave to cool.
• Whip the cream until it holds its shape. Fold the cream into the cooled strawberry mix, then spoon into one bowl or separate pots and chill for about 2 hrs, or until set. Cut the reserved strawberries in half and use to decorate.

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar; stir. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add marshmallows and sour cream; stir to coat. Spoon into dessert dishes.
