Cotton Candy Marshmallow Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 packets of unflavored gelatin
• ¾ cup water (divided into ½ cup + ¼ cup)
• 2 cups sugar
• ⅔ cup corn syrup
• 1–2 tbsp Amoretti® Natural Cotton Candy Artisan Flavor
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• ¼ powdered sugar
• Pink food color, optional

Instructions:

1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine ½ cup of water with the gelatin. Let it sit to bloom while you prepare the syrup.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining ¼ cup of water, sugar, and corn syrup.
3. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and allow the mixture to reach 240°F (soft-ball stage) using a candy thermometer.
4. Carefully pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin while mixing on low speed.
5. Increase the speed to high and whip for 8–10 minutes, until the mixture is thick, glossy, and tripled in volume.
6. Mix in 2 tablespoons of Amoretti® Natural Cotton Candy Artisan Flavor.
7. If using food coloring, gently fold it in for a swirled effect.
8. Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9x9-inch pan.
9. Let it set for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
10. Once set, dust with powdered sugar & cornstarch, cut into squares, and enjoy!
