Instructions
Step 1
Start by dissolving the *gelatine powder* in your chosen fruit juice. For both the orange and kiwi marshmallows, ensure the juice is at room temperature. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes thick and gelatinous.
In a separate pan, combine *water* and *sugar* over medium heat. Stir until the *sugar* is fully dissolved, but do not bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 2
Once the *sugar* solution has dissolved, remove it from heat and gradually add it to the *gelatine mixture*. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well combined and completely smooth.
Add the *vanilla extract* to enhance the flavor of your marshmallows. This step is crucial as it adds depth to your marshmallow's taste.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to whip the combined mixture using a stand mixer or handheld mixer. Beat it on medium speed until it becomes fluffy and holds stiff peaks, which may take about 10-15 minutes.
As you whip, the color of the mixture will become lighter, transforming into a beautiful marshmallow cream.
Step 4
Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with oil or lining it with parchment paper. Pour the whipped marshmallow mixture into the prepared dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Let it sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours or until fully set. For best results, you can leave it overnight for a perfect texture.
Step 5
Once set, dust the top with *cornstarch* to prevent sticking. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut the marshmallow into squares or any shape you prefer.
To store your marshmallows, place them in an airtight container. They can last for several weeks, but trust me, they won't last that long once you share them with family and friends!
Servings
For a fantastic after-school snack or cozy movie night, pair your fruity marshmallows with hot cocoa or herbal tea. 🍵 **The flavor explosion** of the marshmallow against the warm drink creates a delightful contrast that warms the heart. How about **skewering them on sticks**, roasting over an open flame for a delicious s'mores twist? 🔥
The serving options are endless; let your creativity run wild! Whether shared at a gathering or indulged in during a self-care day, these lovely marshmallows will surely be a hit! 🎉
Equipment
A stand mixer is ideal for achieving the perfect fluffy texture. If using a hand mixer, be prepared for a bit of an arm workout! Make sure to keep the bowl stable while whipping.
This is crucial for ensuring your sugar syrup reaches the right temperature. If you don't have one, a regular kitchen thermometer can work in a pinch. Just keep an eye on the syrup!

Silicone molds make popping out your marshmallows a breeze. If you don’t have one, a lined baking tray will do just fine—just make sure to cut them into equal squares after setting.
A silicone spatula is perfect for folding in ingredients gently and scraping down the sides of your mixing bowl. If you don’t have one, a regular spatula can work, just be careful not to deflate the mixture!

Faq
- How do I know when my marshmallow mixture is ready?
The mixture should be thick and glossy, similar to soft peaks of whipped cream. If you hold the whisk out, it should hold its shape without collapsing.
- Can I make these marshmallows in advance?
Absolutely! They can be made a day or two ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Just dust them with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- What if my marshmallows turn out grainy?
This could be due to the sugar not dissolving fully. Make sure to heat the sugar syrup until all grains are melted before mixing. A steady temperature is key!
- Is there a way to adjust the sweetness?
You can reduce the sugar slightly or use flavored extracts to enhance taste without adding too much sweetness. Balance is key!
- What if I want to use homemade juice instead of store-bought?
Homemade juice is a wonderful idea! Just make sure it’s strained so that no pulp interrupts the texture of the marshmallows.
- Can I add colors or extracts for more flavor?
Definitely! Natural food coloring works perfectly, and you can also add your favorite extracts like vanilla, strawberry, or almond for an extra flavor kick! 🎨
