Homemade Watermelon Marshmallows

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're creating fluffy, watermelon-flavored marshmallows that rely on precise temperature control and professional confectionery ingredients to achieve that perfect springy texture – the trickiest part is getting the sugar syrup to exactly 110°C and then whipping it quickly into a firm foam. Most of the time is spent letting them set overnight at room temperature, which is the secret to getting beautifully stable marshmallows that won't tear when you cut them.
