I found a lovely recipe yesterday for something I just have to make. But whilst checking the list of ingredients I saw one was marshmallow crème. What is that!!?? Well it's something they have in America and whilst it can be bought over the net, it's quite expensive. I looked for a recipe to make it my self. Unfortunately again the recipe contained American products that I couldn't get hold of easily. So I experimented a bit and came up with my own recipe, here it is:
Homemade Marshmallow Fluff
Ingredients:
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature16 fl oz golden syrup or liquid glucose
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 9 oz sifted icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Method:
In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine egg whites, syrup, and salt. Beat with whisk attachment on high speed for five minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and doubled. Reduce speed to low, and add vanilla and powdered sugar. Stir until well blended. Use in your chosen recipe of put in a jar and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
I prefer the golden syrup variety, it comes out with a slight golden tint. and its cheaper than liquid glucose.
And if you fancy buying some instead this is the best price I have found.
