Instructions
Step 1
Begin by *soaking the gelatin* in a small bowl with a portion of the cold water. Allow it to bloom for about **10 minutes**. The gelatin will absorb the water and become thickened, which is essential for the marshmallow texture.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the *sugar*, *glucose syrup*, and remaining water. Bring this mixture to a *boil* over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved. *Use a candy thermometer* to ensure that the mixture reaches **112°C (approximately 234°F)**.
Step 3
Remove the syrup from heat and carefully whisk in the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the *coffee extract* for flavor. Once mixed, transfer to a stand mixer and beat on high speed until the mixture is thick and fluffy.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the *powdered sugar* and *cornstarch*. Sprinkle a portion into a baking pan to prevent sticking. Once the marshmallow mixture is ready, *pour it into the prepared pan* and level the surface with a spatula.
Step 5
Let the marshmallows set at room temperature for **at least 6 hours**, or ideally overnight. Once set, cut into desired shapes. *Toss* the marshmallows in the remaining coating to prevent them from sticking together. Serve and enjoy these *delightfully fluffy sweets* at your next gathering!

Keep an eye on the texture! It should be thick, glossy, and form stiff peaks. If it’s still runny, give it a few more minutes of whisking.

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for optimal freshness. Just avoid refrigeration, as it can alter their texture!
- Can I reduce the sugar?
While reducing the sugar might affect the stability and texture of the marshmallows, you can experiment with slightly lower quantities. Keep in mind, it might impact sweetness and flavor.

The sugar syrup should be around 240°F (115°C) for perfect consistency. Precision counts, so use that thermometer!
