Equipment
- Stand mixer
- whisk
- Pastry bag with tips
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tsp agar-agar
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp dry vanilla
- 3 egg whites, room temperature
Instructions
- Use an electric or stand mixer, set to high speed, to beat together the egg whites. Add dry vanilla. Whip until the mixture forms soft, fluffy white peaks.3 egg whites,, ¼ tsp dry vanilla
- Meanwhile, on the stove, bring to a boil in a medium-sized pot 1 cup of water and agar-agar. Whisk powdered sugar into the pot, and boil for exactly 6 minutes.1 cup water, 2 tsp agar-agar, 4 cups powdered sugar
- Take off the heat and add the agar mixture to the egg whites with the mixer on low speed. Mix together for another 3 minutes.
- Shape or pipe the marshmallow mixture onto two large baking sheets. Shape the marshmallows into any shape you want. I used a pastry bag with a decorating tip. If you're worried about stickiness, try dusting the baking sheet with a little powdered sugar.
- Let marshmallows stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. For faster results put in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
