Make delicious edible presents by using these marshmallow snowflakes. These are delightful, fluffy, and ideal as gifts for the holidays.
Ingredients: 3/4 cup cold water. 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin. 2 cups granulated sugar. 1/2 cup corn syrup. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Powdered sugar, for dusting.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold water and gelatin. Let it sit for 10 minutes to bloom the gelatin. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture reaches 240F 115C on a candy thermometer. Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the gelatin mixture while mixing on low speed with an electric mixer. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat for another 2 minutes. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dust it generously with powdered sugar. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe snowflake shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, dusting the top with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Let the marshmallows set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight until they are firm. Once set, remove the marshmallows from the parchment paper and dust them with additional powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Store the marshmallow snowflakes in an airtight container, layered between sheets of wax paper, for up to two weeks. These homemade marshmallow snowflakes make delightful gifts. Simply package them in decorative bags or boxes and tie with a festive ribbon.
