Equipment
- 1 Thermomix
Ingredients
- 3 leaves (Titanium-strength gelatine leaves) bloomed
- 80 g caster sugar
- 35 g glucose
- 1 tsp or 5 g vanilla bean extract
- 100 g water
Dusting powder
- 2 Tbsp cornflour
- 2 Tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Place your gelatin leaves in a small bowl with cold water (just enough to cover) and leave to bloom (Soften). If you do this first, they'll be ready for when you have to use them down the track.
- Weigh the remainder of the ingredients into the TM bowl, place the simmering basket on top of the lid, set to 4 mins/Varoma/sp 1.
- When the time is up, take the gelatine leaves and squeeze out the water then place the gelatine into the hot liquid in the TM bowl.
- Put the butterfly in place and whisk on 7 minutes/sp 3.5. Leave the MC out because you want as much air to be incorporated into the mix as you can. If it starts to splash a little through the hole in the lid, I add a small sieve on top, and that stops it or use your TM basket as others do. The temperature will start to fall over this period, and you need to work with it before it goes completely cold. Too hot and it will be too runny, too cold, and it will start to set. Just like jelly. ? Just warm it up if it starts to set by replacing the TM back into the cradle and setting back to 37° speed 1 - 2 until it's soft again.
- When the mix has reached the desired texture, place it into a piping bag with a small nozzle and pipe out onto each biscuit, or use a spoon but it's good piping practice! If you find your marshmallow is starting to set, pop it in the microwave for no longer than 5 seconds, it will loosen it up, making it easy to pipe again.
- With the leftover marshmallow, why not practice your piping skills and make marshmallow dots. Pipe them onto silicone mats or baking paper and once they're set, sift some cornflour over the top to stop them sticking together. Scoop them up and pop them in an airtight container and use as you wish.
Notes
Tips- If you're filling biscuits, don't add too much jam or marshmallows, or they'll be too hard to eat. Check these Chocolate Royals. If you're making a marshmallow slab, I love using a square silicone tray. The marshmallow will pull away really easily from the silicone. Otherwise, you'll have to line a baking tin. Use the dusting powder to help with handling and keeping. Note - You can make this marshmallow in a double boiler (bain-marie) if you don't own a Thermomix.
