Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 ounce package mini marshmallows ((8 1/2 cups))
2-5 Tablespoons water
8 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Place marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  • Microwave for 30 seconds on high; stir until mixed well. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
  • Place about 5 cups of the powdered sugar on top of the melted marshmallow mixture and gently fold it into the marshmallows.
  • Grease your hands and your counter generously with shortening. Turn marshmallow mixture onto counter and start kneading it like you would dough.
  • Add more confectioners' sugar as needed and re-grease your hands and the counter as needed.
  • If the marshmallow fondant is tearing easily, it is too dry; add water (about 1/2 tablespoon at a time) kneading it until fondant forms a firm, smooth elastic ball that will stretch without tearing.

Categories     dessert

Time 6h35m

Yield 6 to 12 marshmallows

Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable oil, for the baking dish
3 tablespoons bourbon or other whiskey
Four 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray, for the spatula and cookie cutter
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for packing
1 cup rice flour

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly brush all over with oil.
  • Put the bourbon and 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly on top and then stir briefly to moisten it all.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat while stirring, then stop stirring and continue to boil until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat and let the bubbling subside.
  • Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the hot syrup so that it pours down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. When all of the syrup has been added, gradually increase the speed to high and beat until stiff, about 12 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray and scrape the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking dish with the spatula. Use oiled fingers to smooth the marshmallow into the dish. Let it air dry for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
  • Combine the confectioners' sugar and rice flour in a small bowl. Turn the marshmallow out onto a surface coated with some of the confectioners' sugar mixture. Spray a 3- to 6-inch elephant-shaped cookie cutter with nonstick spray on both sides. Cut out an elephant from the marshmallow and gently toss in the bowl with the remaining confectioners' sugar mixture, coating all of the cut edges. Re-spray the cutter before cutting out each elephant and coat each thoroughly in the mixture.
  • Pack or bag the marshmallows with a little extra confectioners' sugar.

Time 10m

Yield 1 ball

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 ounces mini marshmallows (2 2/3 cups)
8 ounces confectioners' sugar, sifted (2 cups), plus more for kneading
Vegetable shortening, for kneading

Steps:

  • Combine the marshmallows and 1 1/2 teaspoons water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Once the mixture becomes too stiff to stir, grease your counter and hands with shortening (or wear greased plastic, disposable gloves) and dump the mixture onto the counter. Knead, adding the remaining quarter of confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until the fondant is very smooth, not sticky and holds its shape into a ball without relaxing.

Time 9h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 ounces mini marshmallows (2 2/3 cups)
8 ounces confectioners' sugar, sifted (2 cups), plus more for kneading
Vegetable shortening, for kneading
Yellow, black and brown gel food coloring

Steps:

  • For the marshmallow fondant: Combine the marshmallows and 1 1/2 teaspoons water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Add about three-quarters of the sifted confectioners' sugar into the marshmallow mixture and stir to combine. Once the mixture becomes too stiff to stir, grease your counter and hands with shortening (or wear greased plastic, disposable gloves) and dump the mixture onto the counter. Knead, adding the remaining quarter of confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until the fondant is very smooth, not sticky and holds its shape into a ball without relaxing. Use right away or grease it lightly with additional shortening, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight plastic bag or container at room temperature for up to several days.
  • Color three-quarters of the fondant deep yellow (6 or 7 drops), rolling and kneading to evenly incorporate the color. Work in a little confectioners? sugar if the moisture from the food coloring makes the fondant too soft. (Wear plastic, disposable gloves and wash your hands well between colors so as not to bleed colors.) Pinch off an almond-size piece of the remaining fondant and color deep black (about 2 drops) working in additional confectioners' sugar if needed. Coloring the remaining fondant brown (3 to 4 drops) working in additional confectioners' sugar if needed.
  • For the giraffe legs, head, neck and nose: Divide the yellow fondant into 6 pieces. Divide each piece in half. Roll half of the pieces into sets of long legs. Press each set together to join in a "v" shape and transfer to a parchment-lined baking. sheet. Pinch off 2 small pieces from each of the remaining pieces. Form each of the large pieces into an egg shape with a short, stubby neck for the head and neck. Make a squareish nose for each head from 1 of the small yellow pieces and attach with a little water. Stick the heads on to the legs.
  • Roll the remaining small yellow pieces out to about 1/4-inch-thick with a greased rolling pin and cut out 2 ears for each giraffe with the tip of a 1/2-inch round pastry tip. Make ridges in the ears with the back of a paring knife and press one side together to make the ears pointy. Brush the top sides of the heads with a little water and attach the ears, pressing slightly to adhere.
  • Pinch off 12 tiny pieces of black fondant and roll into balls. Press the balls onto the giraffes on top of the nose for eyes. Roll the remaining black fondant out to about ¼-inch thick and cut out 12 foot pads with the 1/4-inch pastry tip. Press slightly to make larger and attach to the bottom of the feet, brushing with a little water if necessary.
  • Press 6 small squares of brown to cover the tips of the noses and mark long nostrils. Pinch 12 tiny pieces from the brown and roll to make stubby antlers. Press on the tops of the heads, in between the ears.
  • Roll the remaining brown fondant to about 1/4-inch-thick with a greased rolling pin (in a few pieces if it is sticky). Cut out body spots with the tip of a 1/4-inch pastry tip. Cut out face spots with the tip of a 1/8-inch pastry tip. Brush the giraffe very lightly with water and attach the spots all over.
  • Let the giraffes dry, uncovered, overnight.

MARSHMALLOW FONDANT

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.
