Create the Perfect Homemade Marshmallows with Ease

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.

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)**.

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.

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.

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!
