Instructions
Step 1
Start *by blooming the gelatin*. In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with 50 grams (1.8 ounces) of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it swells and absorbs the water.
Step 2
In a pot, combine the granulated sugar and the remaining 50 grams (1.8 ounces) of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once dissolved, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, aiming for 115°C (239°F).
Step 3
Once your sugar syrup reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and carefully stir in the bloomed gelatin and *vanilla extract*. Be cautious, as the syrup will be very hot.
Step 4
Transfer the syrup to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until it becomes fluffy and forms soft peaks. This process will take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once whipped, *spoon the marshmallow mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet*. For mushroom caps, use a large round piping tip and create dome shapes. For stems, use a smaller round piping tip and pipe straight lines.
Step 6
Allow the marshmallow mushrooms to set for about 3 to 4 hours at room temperature, or overnight for the best results.
Step 7
Once set, *mix the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and almond flour* in a bowl. Roll the mushroom caps in this mixture to give them a realistic look.
If you want a sparkling effect, lightly dust them with edible glitter.
Step 8
Your *delicious marshmallow mushrooms* are now ready to be served! Use them for decorating cakes, as a fun snack, or as part of a dessert display. Enjoy the deliciousness!
Servings
**Don’t forget to pair your mushrooms with some fun dips!** Chocolate sauce or berry compote can enhance the experience and add a splash of flavor that everyone will enjoy! 🍓 So, why not grab your friends and host a mini baking party? Everyone can join in the fun and create their own marshmallow masterpieces! 💕
Equipment
A set of mixing bowls in various sizes is essential for combining your ingredients. Use a larger bowl for the main mixture and smaller bowls for coloring and flavoring the marshmallows.
A silicone spatula is perfect for folding ingredients without damaging the mixture. Make sure it's sturdy enough for mixing sticky marshmallow!

A flat cookie sheet will help you transport the mushrooms easily. Consider lining it with parchment paper to make removing your treats simpler!
Using gel food coloring will give you vibrant colors to create beautiful mushroom caps. Experiment with different shades for a more realistic look!
Disposable pastry bags are great for piping your marshmallow mixture. They provide more control and make it easier to shape your mushrooms perfectly!
Variations
If you’re looking for a gluten-free alternative, simply ensure that all your ingredients, especially powdered sugar, are labeled gluten-free. 🍃 For a vegan twist, use aquafaba instead of egg whites and substitute gelatin with a plant-based gelling agent like agar-agar. 🌱 **These modifications will let everyone enjoy these magical marshmallow mushrooms!**
Faq
- Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar?
Using powdered sugar is recommended as it helps to achieve the right texture. Regular granulated sugar will not work as effectively in this recipe.
- What happens if my marshmallow mixture is too sticky?
If your mixture is too sticky, try lightly dusting it with more powdered sugar. This will help you manage the stickiness while shaping the mushrooms.
- How can I achieve different shapes for the mushrooms?
Experiment with piping the marshmallow mix into different molds or simply use a spoon to form them into various mushroom shapes before they set!
- Can I store these marshmallow mushrooms? How long do they last?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to keep them fresh and tasty.
- What if I want to make larger mushrooms?
You can pipe larger amounts of marshmallow mix to create bigger mushrooms. Just increase the setting time slightly to ensure they hold their shape!
- Are there any flavor variations that I can try?
Absolutely! You can add extracts like vanilla, almond, or even mint to change the flavor profile of your marshmallows. Make them uniquely yours!
