Homemade marshmallows – Italian Cuisine

»Homemade marshmallows


First of all, put the isinglass to soak in cold water (85 g) and let it rest like this.

Meanwhile, pour water (80 g), sugar and glucose into a saucepan to prepare the syrup: if you have a kitchen thermometer, you will need to reach a temperature of 115-120 ° C; if you don't have a thermometer for sweets, bring to a boil and let it boil for a few minutes, dip a fork in the syrup and blow gently through the prongs: the syrup will be ready when it swells like a soap bubble.

In the meantime that the syrup reaches the right temperature, you can start whipping the egg whites: when they are whipped until stiff and the syrup is ready, begin to incorporate it flush into the egg whites, continuing to whisk with whips.
Take back the gelatin (which by now should have absorbed all the water), pour it into the saucepan and let it melt completely over low heat, then also incorporate this into the egg whites, always continuing to whisk, and continue to whisk until the meringue has cooled.

At this point, if you want, you can divide the mixture to color a part: a few drops of dye will be enough, because marshmallows are usually pastel in color.

Sift cornstarch and powdered sugar mixing them together.
Pour half of it into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then spread the meringue over it (trying to keep the colors separate).
Sift the rest of the cornstarch and sugar mix over the meringue and let it rest for at least 12 hours at room temperature, uncovered.

Take back the pan, remove the mixture from the parchment paper, place it on a cutting board and divide it into cubes.
Sprinkle again with the mix of powders, in order to cover the parts just cut, then shake off the excess.

The homemade marshmallows are ready, you just have to serve them, or use them for your preparations.

Muffin marshmallows and chocolate – Italian Cuisine

»Muffin marshmallows and chocolate


As always when it comes to muffins, combine all the liquid ingredients (egg, milk, oil) in one bowl and the dry ones (flour, sugar, cocoa, yeast) in another.

Then pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ones and mix quickly, then add the chocolate and marshmallows.

Spread the mixture into molds (silicone, or greased and floured, or lined with cups, you see) until they are 3/4 full and cook for 15-20 minutes in a preheated convection oven at 180 ° C.

That's it: the marshmallows and chocolate muffins are ready to taste.

These brownies taste even better the day after baking, so once they have cooled, wrap up the tin and store for 24 hours before slicing as above. For more chocolate flavour, add 75g milk, plain or white chocolate chunks to the mixture with the flour.

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C/350°F/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 30 x 20cm rectangular cake tin with baking parchment. Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl; add the butter and set over a saucepan of barely simmering water until melted. Remove from the water, stir in the sugar; cool for 10 mins.
  2. Gradually whisk in the eggs to make a thick glossy mixture. Sift the flour on top and carefully fold the ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Transfer to the prepared tin, smooth the top and bake in the oven for about 30 mins until the mixture is risen, has a slight crust yet is still slightly soft underneath. Scatter or arrange the marshmallows on top and leave the brownies to cool in the tin.
  4. To serve, slice into 15 portions and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
