Homemade Watermelon Marshmallows
Marshmallows aren't some modern invention – the ancient Egyptians were already hooked on this treat. Now you'll master that thousands-year-old technique right in your own kitchen. Watching hot syrup transform under your hands into a fluffy, cloud-like mass is pure magic – something no bag from the supermarket shelf could ever give you.
Treat yourself to an evening that smells of watermelon and sunshine. Making marshmallows is the kind of playful activity that finally switches your head off, letting you lose yourself in a process that creates something real with your own hands. Whether you're making it a shared moment or carving out some well-earned time just for yourself, the result will look (and taste) so good you'll have every right to feel proud.
Working with invert sugar: master the ingredient that keeps marshmallows wonderfully soft for weeks.
The stable syrup technique: learn how to properly cook sugar with Patisdécor gelatine so your clouds get just the right "bounce" and stability.
Bold flavouring: learn to work with professional FunCakes fruit pastes for a taste that feels authentic, not artificial.
To make your experience complete, we've thrown in the legendary Swiss Caotina chocolate that we're big fans of ourselves. Sip it as a sweet little pick-me-up while you work, or drop your finished marshmallows straight in. Watch them turn into a creamy foam – we promise this combo is pure flavour heaven.
Elite base (Patisdécor, France): a full pack of beef gelatine and invert sugar. This duo is what master pastry chefs use to get just the right bounce and stability.
Bold fruit flavour (FunCakes, Netherlands): a concentrated paste with a 70% fruit content. It gives your marshmallows the authentic character of ripe, juicy watermelon.
Professional colouring (ProGel, UK): highly concentrated food colouring. Just a drop gives you a rich shade, and the rest of the tube will last for months of future creations.
Swiss bonus: Caotina chocolate, plus our detailed guide walking you through the whole process step by step.
