Homemade Marshmallow Fondant Recipe

Start by dissolving the **lemon acid** in **water**. This will add a delightful flavor to your fondant.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the **marshmallows** for about **one and a half minutes**. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overheat.

Once the marshmallows are melted, mix in the **vegetable oil** and the dissolved lemon acid. Stir everything together with a spoon until well combined.

Next, gradually add in the **powdered sugar** and **cornstarch**. At first, use the spoon for mixing. Once the mixture becomes too thick to stir, transfer the remaining dry ingredients onto a clean surface.

Once on the surface, start kneading the fondant with your hands. Make sure to dust your hands and surface with additional **powdered sugar** and **cornstarch** as needed to avoid sticking.

The **fondant should be elastic** and not too sticky to your hands when finished. Knead until you reach the right consistency.

Wrap the finished fondant tightly in **plastic wrap** and place it in the refrigerator for several hours. This helps it set and become more stable.

After chilling, if the fondant feels too hard, warm it briefly in the microwave. Once pliable, you can add your desired coloring and knead again. If necessary, incorporate more cornstarch or powdered sugar to achieve a workable consistency.
