How to make Marshmallow Candy
-
Cook the sugar syrup
Place a pot on the stove, add 75ml of water, 150gr of sugar, and 120gr of corn syrup into the pot, stir well and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup mixture starts to boil gently.
Then pour the sugar syrup mixture into a bowl and let it cool down a bit.
-
Whip the cacao syrup and gelatin mixture
Gradually add to the bowl the cooled sugar syrup consisting of 20g melted gelatin, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 20g of cocoa powder.
Then, use a mixer to beat at medium speed until the mixture doubles in volume, creates light swirls, and turns light brown, which is the desired consistency.
-
Pour the candy into molds and set
Prepare a square or rectangular mold of your choice, then sprinkle a layer of cocoa powder on the bottom of the mold and pour the whipped candy mixture evenly into it.
Use a spatula to smooth the surface, then place it in the fridge refrigerator for 2 hours to let the candy set.
Tip: When pouring the candy, you should do it quickly as the candy sets very fast.
-
Completion
After the candy has set, remove it from the mold and then use a sieve to evenly sprinkle cocoa powder on the surface.
Next, use a knife to cut the candy into small, bite-sized squares. Then, roll the candy again in cocoa powder until it is evenly coated, and you’re done!
Tip: To make it easier to cut the candy into pieces, you should warm the knife or dip it briefly in hot water first!
