Ingredients:
- 1 lb of Mini Marshmallows (easier to melt)
- 1 tsp Clear Vanilla Extract
- 1tsp No Color Butter Flavor
- 2 tbsp of Water
- 2 lbs of Powdered Sugar (sifted)
- A little bit of shortening
- Grease a microwaveable bowl with shortening. Add all mini marshmallows, clear vanilla, butter flavoring and water
- Microwave for 60 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir until completely melted with fork
- If all the mini marshmallows don't melt after stirring, return to microwave for 30 seconds and sitr (repeat in itervals if necessary) - this step is usually not necesary for me
- Add the powdered sugar gradually (you might not need all the sugar) and process at low speed until well incorporated, then increase speed (if you don't have a stand mixer, mix with fork until well incorporated then knead)
- Powder surface with powder sugar. Knead marshmallow mix (careful, it might be hot at this point so knead with fork until it cools down a bit. You can grease your hands if you like to avoid marshmallow sticking to your hands). Kneading should not take long.
- If the mix is too sticky, then add more sugar until it becomes firmer
- Knead into a loaf (it will be a little bit soft at this point but don't worry). Wrap in plastic and cool for one hour (it will get firmer then)
- You can store on dry place or refrigerator (it will store for weeks)
While working with the marshmallow fondant, have a bit of Crisco or some spray oil handy to keep the work surface, rolling pin, and your hands lightly greased. This will help keep the fondant from sticking and also helps the surface of the fondant maintain a glossy shine. If you find your fondant is still too sticky, knead in a bit more sugar.
