Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making fluffy, lightly springy mint chocolate marshmallows from scratch using a professional confectionery kit – think cooling mint flavor with crunchy chocolate shavings in every bite. The tricky part is getting the sugar syrup to exactly 110°C and then whisking it quickly into gelatin and mint paste until it transforms into firm foam, so timing and attention matter here. After shaping your mixture, you'll need to let the marshmallows set overnight at room temperature before cutting them into cubes.

Prepare the gelatin base

First, prepare the base for that perfect texture. Pour powdered gelatin into a small bowl and cover it with cold water. Stir and let it sit undisturbed to bloom, so it later dissolves smoothly and evenly into the hot syrup.

Make the sugar syrup

In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, and the first portion of invert sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly, and keep heating it until your thermometer reads exactly 110°C. Meanwhile...

Whip in the stand mixer

Add the remaining portion of invert sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer and start whisking on medium speed. Measure out the fruit paste and grate the chocolate. Once the syrup in the saucepan reaches 110°C, start pouring it slowly and steadily into the bowl.

Create the marshmallow mixture

Once the syrup is in the bowl, add the bloomed gelatin and mint paste. Keep whisking on the highest speed until the mixture whips up into a firm foam. Finally, add a pinch of food coloring and the chocolate, then whisk briefly to combine.

Shape the marshmallow mixture

Prepare a silicone mold or baking paper dusted with powdered sugar. The mixture sets quickly, so work fast. You can either simply smooth it out or transfer it to a piping bag to create shapes. Sprinkle with chocolate pieces.

Set overnight

Now let the marshmallows rest and set at room temperature, ideally until the next day. Patience pays off here, as they'll turn out beautifully springy and stable, and won't tear when you handle them afterward.

Cut and coat

Once the marshmallows have set, use scissors to snip them into small cubes, or use gingerbread cutters. You can lightly dust the marshmallows in powdered sugar so they don't stick together. Enjoy!
