Sweets are what women, children and even men adore and admire. There is a great variety of them. But today we will independently prepare marshmallows on gelatin. What is marshmallow - everyone knows. But not everyone knows that the dessert has primordially Russian roots. Yes, we will not argue with the French, and we will give them the palm in the preparation of airy and light sweets. However, marshmallow was the progenitor of marshmallows on gelatin. And although pure gelatin was not used in those days to create sweets, this does not change anything.
Not only from the store
If you thought that marshmallows were exclusively a store delicacy, you were very mistaken. Today, many helpers in the form of ready-made gelatin, blenders and refrigerators have come to the aid of modern lovers (and lovers) to cook something tasty. Already with their help, marshmallows with gelatin at home will work even for a beginner.
Recipe number 1
This recipe contains the minimum amount of starting ingredients. To begin translating the recipe into reality, you need to have the following components:
- Water is one glass. In this recipe for marshmallows with gelatin at home, we will dissolve sugar and gelatin in it.
- Sugar - 300 grams.
- Half a teaspoon of citric acid.
- Soda - half a teaspoon.
- Vanillin or vanilla sugar - to taste, to give a magnificent aroma to marshmallows on gelatin.
Preparation of the form: the first step
The finished mass will need to be beautifully shaped so that the treat pleases not only with its taste, but also with its external design. Any suitable containers can be used for the finished product. It can be silicone molds in which muffins are usually baked. Any form with sides is also perfect. However, when implementing a recipe for homemade marshmallows with gelatin, you can use a sheet covered with baking paper and plant the mass on its surface from a pastry bag.
All surfaces must be lubricated with non-aromatic vegetable oil. If this simple condition is not met, the marshmallow can tightly stick to the form, and tea drinking will be postponed for an indefinite period.
Crockery and tools: step number two
Using a blender will make beating the mass more comfortable. A mixer is also a good option. For lack of data of kitchen assistants, a hand whisk is quite suitable. True, whipping in this case will be more difficult, and the mass will turn out less magnificent.
A pastry bag with a curly nozzle is needed to create a beautiful marshmallow on gelatin. If necessary, replaced with a regular plastic bag with a cut corner. For the most extreme case, you can use a clean dessert spoon. If you begin to shape products in this way, prepare a bowl with clean cold boiled water: a spoon is dipped in it before you grab another portion of the mixture.
Dishes in which syrup will be prepared.
Timer - manipulations are carried out for a certain time.

- We prepare water: we heat it, but do not allow boiling. Half a glass goes on pouring gelatin. We leave gelatin with water in a separate bowl: give time to increase it in volume.
- Sugar is dissolved in water. We put the dishes on the stove. Cook sweet syrup for eight to ten minutes. Count the time after boiling.
3. Gelatin is swollen, and it's time to add it to the finished syrup. Remove the dishes from the stove by mixing these components. We begin to whip the mass, the procedure takes seven minutes.
4. Enter citric acid and continue to whip the mass for another five minutes.
5. Pour vanilla and soda. Beat again, but about four minutes.
6. The result of all efforts is a lush sweet mass of white. However, if you prefer colored marshmallows, add any food coloring in the whipping process.
We place the mass in a pastry bag and, squeezing it on greased parchment, send it to the refrigerator for one day. Make sure that at this time it does not contain strongly smelling products, so that the marshmallow is not saturated with an inappropriate aroma. You can form ready-made marshmallows in any of the ways described above.
Recipe number 2 - apple marshmallow on gelatin
The list of necessary products to create an incredibly delicate sweetness:
- apples - 3-4 pieces;
- sugar - three hundred grams;
- protein of one egg;
- a pack of gelatin - 25 grams;
- hot water - 80 milliliters;
- food coloring - optional.
Technology
Step one. Wash all apples and free them from seed boxes and stalks. Divide the fruit into four to six slices. Lay on baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven for fifteen minutes. The oven temperature is 180 degrees. As soon as the apples are baked, take them out, let them cool.
Step Two At this time, prepare the gelatin. Pour the contents of the package with the entire norm of hot water. Give him time to swell. We will mix to get the dissolved gelatin.
Third step. We return to the apples. Remove the peel. Wipe the pulp through a sieve to get applesauce. You can use any suitable method. The main thing is that at the exit you have 200 grams of the finished product from apples.
Fourth step. We add sugar to the dishes with apple mass. Dissolve it using a mixer or whisk. The better this component dissolves, the more airy the dessert will be. Introduce 1/2 raw protein without stopping the mixer. It is immediately noticeable that the mass is whiter. We continue to work for five to seven minutes, and only after that add another 1/2 protein. The whipping procedure continues. The mass turns into lush and dense. If you want colored marshmallows - now enter a couple of drops of dye.
Fifth step. At the end of the process, we introduce gelatin into the marshmallow and continue whisking for about three minutes until stable peaks of the composition and its complete cooling.
We complete the step-by-step guide to mass formation. For the formation of products require skill and speed. During the connection of the finished mass with gelatin, it begins to seize rapidly. It will be more convenient to use the largest bag for jigging (or immediately fill two such bags). Whatever way you make marshmallows, you need to do it faster. Spread (and squeeze) the mass only on a greased surface or in a greased form for 24 hours. For decoration, you can use powdered sugar.
