Questions about Marshmallows
How do you toast marshmallows over a fire without burning them?
Thread one on a long skewer and hold it above glowing embers, not in the flames. Turn it slowly until golden and crisp outside and soft in the middle; it usually takes a few minutes.
Can you toast marshmallows in the oven?
Put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and grill briefly, watching constantly: they can brown in under a minute. For a s’more, sandwich a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate between two biscuits.
How should you store marshmallows so they do not go hard?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and sunlight. If an opened bag is left exposed to air, the marshmallows gradually dry out and become firm.
What can you make with marshmallows besides s’mores?
Melt them with butter over a low heat, then stir through crisped rice cereal for squares; press the mixture into a lined tin while it is still warm. They also work as a topping for hot chocolate or baked sweet potatoes.
Can you melt marshmallows in the microwave?
Yes. Put them in a large microwave-safe bowl with a little water and heat in short bursts of about 10 seconds, stirring between bursts; they puff up quickly and can become very hot.
What can you use instead of marshmallows in a recipe?
For a topping, use whipped cream or meringue, though neither behaves like a stretchy melted marshmallow. In crisped rice squares, a melted mixture of butter and marshmallows is what binds the cereal, so a direct swap may change the texture.
Are marshmallows vegetarian?
Not always: many are set with gelatine, which is usually made from animal collagen. Look for a gelatine-free version if you need a vegetarian option; some use plant-based gelling ingredients such as agar.
How many marshmallows are in a typical portion?
A regular marshmallow weighs about 7 g, so a small handful of four is roughly 29 g. That portion provides 92 kcal and 17 g of sugars.
