MARSHMALLOW FONDANT



Marshmallow Fondant image

This is a very easy (and a little sticky at times) way to make a delicious fondant. It's great on cakes, cookies, or just for your little ones to play with! Leftovers will save in a tightly sealed container for a few weeks.

Time 8h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup butter
1 (16 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 pounds confectioners' sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a shallow bowl, and set aside.
  • Place the marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High for 30 seconds to 1 minute to start melting the marshmallows. Carefully stir the water and vanilla extract into the hot marshmallows, and stir until the mixture is smooth. Slowly beat in the confectioners' sugar, a cup at a time, until you have a sticky dough. Reserve 1 cup of powdered sugar for kneading. The dough will be very stiff.
  • Rub your hands thoroughly with butter, and begin kneading the sticky dough. As you knead, the dough will become workable and pliable. Turn the dough out onto a working surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and continue kneading until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Form the fondant into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. To use, allow the fondant to come to room temperature, and roll it out onto a flat surface dusted with confectioners' sugar.

  • Add the marshmallows to a microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle the water over the top. Microwave for 30 seconds on high, stir, then microwave for 30 more seconds, or until the marshmallows are completely melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add half of the powdered sugar, and stir to combine using a sturdy spoon. It will be very sticky and may be difficult to stir, but keep at it! Add additional powdered sugar to make a dough that has the consistency of play dough. You may need to knead it with your hands to make it smooth.
  • To color the fondant, add a few drops of gel food coloring into a ball of fondant, and knead the food coloring into the fondant until evenly distributed. Wear gloves to prevent transferring the food color to your skin, and add additional powdered sugar if the fondant gets sticky.

  • Place the marshmallows and water in a microwave proof bowl. Microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until melted. To ensure even cooking, stop the microwave every 30 to 45 seconds and stir them.
  • Stir 1 to 2 cups of the powdered sugar into the melted marshmallows. Once that is incorporated, continue to stir in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
  • Once the mixture gets too difficult to stir, grease your work surface and your hands with vegetable shortening and dump the marshmallow mixture out onto the work surface.
  • Knead more of the powdered sugar into the marshmallow mixture, you may not need to use all of the sugar. Work in enough sugar until the mixture feels like children's modeling dough. Keep your hands well greased with the vegetable shortening to prevent the fondant from sticking to them.
