🍵 Matcha Marshmallows with Marshmallow Root Recipe by 🍓 ✨ These fluffy, Asian-inspired marshmallows are full of matcha, a touch of pandan, and savory miso. Ingredients: 2 1/2 tablespoons gelatin powder 1/2 cup cold water (for blooming) Optional: ½ teaspoon marshmallow root extract 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey 1/3 cup water (for syrup) 1/2 teaspoon pandan extract 1 teaspoon matcha powder 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon red miso paste (adjust to taste) Optional toppings: freeze-dried strawberries, unsweetened coconut shreds Powdered sugar, for dusting 1. In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin powder with the cold water. Let it sit until it is fully bloomed and jelly-like. Transfer the bloomed gelatin to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. 2. Add the marshmallow root extract if using. 3. Combine the granulated sugar, maple syrup or honey, and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium until the syrup reaches 241°F to 245°F (soft-ball stage). 4. Turn the mixer on low and carefully drizzle the hot syrup into the gelatin mixture. Once all the syrup is added, increase the speed and whip until the mixture is thick, glossy, and pale. 5. Add the pandan extract, matcha powder, and red miso paste. Start with 1 teaspoon of miso and increase to taste. Whip again until fully incorporated and stiff ribbons form. 6. Pour the marshmallow mixture into a small, parchment-lined baking dish. Before it sets, top with freeze-dried strawberries and coconut shreds. 7. Let the marshmallows sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Dust with powdered sugar before cutting into cubes to prevent sticking. Lieu
