Raspberry Marshmallows

December 16, 2016 By Lokness 3 Comments

Homemade treats made the best holiday gifts for your friends, neighbors and co-workers. These tart and gooey raspberry marshmallows will sure make them happy! 

Have you started your holiday baking? After 4 days of baking with 200+ marshmallows and 160+ cookies, I am finally wrapping up today. Woo hoo! Even though there are a lot of works, it makes me happy when I know people enjoy the treats. This is the best time of the year to spread some love. ❤❤❤

Baking for the holidays can be overwhelming. I have a solution for you! Make a batch of marshmallows! One batch can cut into about 100 1-inch marshmallows, which is plenty to give out to your friends and families.

Last year, I made Chocolate Marshmallows and Orange Marshmallows. They were very popular and people loved them! This year, I decided to go with raspberry. Tart raspberry in sweet and gooey marshmallows… My goodness, they came out just right. The secret to this raspberry marshmallows recipe is freeze-dried raspberries. The moisture in the raspberries were drawn out, but the flavors remain. Pulse the freeze-dried raspberries into powder in a food processor or spice grinder. Sift out the seeds and the powder is ready to be used. When the regular marshmallow is almost done whipping, toss in the powder. Volia! Raspberry marshmallows in an instant! Soft, pillowy and not too sweet. These are excellent candies for the grown-up!

Raspberry Marshmallows

About 100 (1-inch) marshmallows
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Keyword candy, corn syrup, edible gift, gelatin, holidays, marshmallow, raspberry

Ingredients

  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • ½ cup corn starch or corn flour (for dusting)
  • ¾ cup cold water
  • 3 (0.25-ounce) packages unflavored gelatin
  • 11 ounces sugar
  • ¾ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ounces freeze-dried raspberry
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  • In a food processor or spice grinder, add the freeze-dried raspberry. Pulse until they turn into powder. Sift out the seeds and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together ½ cup powdered sugar and ½ cup corn starch.
  • Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray. Make sure the pan is well covered. Use a paper towel to remove extra oil. Dust the pan with the powdered sugar mixture very generously to cover. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, pour in the ¾ cup cold water. Sprinkle the gelatin over. Mix everything slightly with a fork. Set aside and let the gelatin bloom.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, honey, ½ cup water and salt. Cook over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Attach a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan. Turn the heat to medium and bring the sugar to a boil without stirring. Continue to cook until the sugar mixture has reached 250˚F, about 8 – 9 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  • With the mixer on low speed, mix the gelatin mixture quickly. Slowly pour the boiling sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once all sugar syrup has been added, increase the mixer to high speed. Whip until the mixture turns very thick and is lukewarm, about 10 – 12 minutes. Add the freeze-dried raspberry powder and vanilla extract at the last 2 minutes of whipping.
  • When the marshmallow mixture is ready, quickly transfer to the prepared pan with a spatula. Spread the mixture evenly. Dust with more powdered sugar mixture to cover. Save the rest of the powdered sugar mixture for dusting later.
  • Let the marshmallows to rest at room temperature uncover for at least 6 hours, best for overnight.
  • Prepared a cutting board lightly cover with powdered sugar mixture. Run a thin knife around the edges between the marshmallow and the pan. Turn the marshmallows out onto the cutting board. Lightly grease a large sharp knife with nonstick cooking spray. Wipe off extra oil. Cover the knife with powdered sugar mixture. Cut down firmly into the marshmallow and make 1-inch squares or desired shapes. Cover all sides of the marshmallow squares with more powdered sugar mixture until not sticky.

Notes

  1. Freeze-dried raspberry can be bought from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods or Amazon.
  2. For storage, keep the marshmallows in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

    Maybe it’s time I overcame my marshmallow-making fears and give it a try. You have certainly provided me with a few very tempting varieties to try. These turned out so beautifully – just love that pink hue on them. Sounds like you are having such fun baking for friends. This really is the best time and best way (through food) to spread some love! I think recipes like this that make a lot is super smart and efficient during this busy time.
    Hope you have a great holiday and much happiness in 2017!!

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!

Almost every year, I make holiday treats for famil Almost every year, I make holiday treats for families, friends & Bryan’s coworkers. (Except last year, because we just moved to Northern California.)🎁 Year after year, I was told that their favorites are the marshmallows! 
.
Homemade marshmallows are really something special. Soft & pillowy, and they’re usually less sweet & flavored. I have 3 flavored marshmallow recipes on the blog, chocolate, raspberry & orange. Chocolate is no doubt the most popular. If you prefer something fruity, raspberry is the one to go. If you’re looking for something unique, definitely try the orange. 
.
Don’t ask me to pick a favorite, because I do love them all. Another plus about marshmallows is that they last for at least 2 weeks (likely longer), so you have plenty of time to give them out to friends or finish them yourself!
