Easy Strawberry Marshmallow Cubes You Can Make

In a medium saucepan, combine 300 milliliters of water and 20 grams of agar-agar. Heat it over medium heat while stirring continuously until the agar completely dissolves.

Once dissolved, add 400 grams of granulated sugar and 100 milliliters of light corn syrup to the mixture. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, then bring the mixture to a boil. Remember to keep stirring to prevent it from sticking.

Take 300 grams of fresh strawberries and 50 grams of granulated sugar and blend them together until you have a smooth purée. This will add a delightful natural flavor to your marshmallow cubes.

Strain the purée through a fine sieve to remove any seeds, ensuring a smooth texture in your marshmallows.

Once the agar-sugar mixture has reached a boil, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Gradually add the strawberry purée to the agar-sugar mixture while whisking at a steady pace.

Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture on high speed until it becomes light and fluffy. You’ll notice it changing color and increasing in volume, which means it’s aerating nicely.

Pour the fluffy marshmallow mixture into a lined baking dish, spreading it evenly. Let it sit at room temperature for several hours, or until it fully sets. The longer you let it sit, the firmer it will become.

Once set, dust a cutting board with powdered sugar and turn the marshmallow slab out onto the board. Cut it into cubes and dust the sides with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Your homemade strawberry marshmallow cubes are now ready to be enjoyed! These can be a delightful treat for parties or as a gift. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Feel free to experiment with other flavors or colors if you like!
