Instructions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the gelatin in the specified amount of water for about 10-15 minutes until it swells and becomes soft.
Step 2
After soaking, melt the gelatin mixture in the microwave until it reaches a temperature of 70-80 degrees Celsius (158-176 degrees Fahrenheit).
Step 3
Using a mixer, beat the gelatin until it forms a light foam. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip the mixture until it becomes fluffy.
The longer you beat the mixture, the denser it will become, which is important for achieving the right consistency. For pouring into chocolate molds, it should be in a flowing consistency.
Servings
Serve these delightful Bubble Gum Marshmallows in a variety of fun ways! Whether you’re having a picnic, a sweet-themed party, or just a cozy evening at home, these colorful treats will bring joy to the occasion. 🎉
Consider pairing them with a warm cup of hot chocolate for a nostalgia trip as the fluffy marshmallows melt and create a dreamy blend of flavors! You can even add them as toppings on ice cream sundaes for an explosion of sweetness. 🍦
For a unique twist, use these marshmallows in dessert charcuterie boards filled with fruits, chocolate dips, and various candies for an Instagram-worthy display everyone will enjoy! 🌈
Equipment
A reliable mixer is essential for whipping the marshmallow fluff to perfection. Choose a stand mixer for convenience, or use a hand mixer for a lighter investment. Just ensure that the bowl is deep enough to accommodate the fluff that will expand as you whip it!
The microwave will be your best friend for melting the gelatin mixture. Use a microwave-safe bowl and watch the mixture closely to avoid overheating it. It should reach a temperature of 70-80°C for the best results!

Variations
If you need gluten-free options, don’t worry! Simply ensure that your gelatin and food coloring are certified gluten-free. To make these marshmallows vegan, substitute gelatin with agar-agar and follow the same steps. Just remember to let it bloom and then melt according to the package instructions. 🥳
Tip: When using agar-agar, you might need to adjust the amount slightly, as it sets more firmly than traditional gelatin. Have fun experimenting!
Faq
- What is the purpose of whipping the marshmallow mixture?
Whipping introduces air, which gives marshmallows their light and fluffy texture. The longer you whip, the thicker and denser they will become.
- How do I know when the marshmallow mixture is ready?
Your mixture should become shiny and form stiff peaks that hold their shape. If it droops, continue to whip until it becomes stiffer.
- Can I change the flavor of the marshmallows?
Absolutely! You can often replace the bubble gum flavor with any extract you enjoy — like vanilla, strawberry, or even mint. Get creative!
- Do I need to store the marshmallows in a certain way to keep them fresh?
Store your marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature. To prevent sticking, dust them lightly with powdered sugar or cornstarch.
- What if my marshmallows are too sticky after making them?
This could mean they were not whipped enough or that they were cut too soon. Next time, let them set longer before cutting and tweak your whipping time!
- How do I ensure my marshmallows have a smooth surface?
Make sure your molds are well-greased before pouring in the mixture, and when smoothing the top, use a spatula dipped in oil to prevent sticking.
