Fondant enables you to give 3D effects to your cake. The smooth finishings, the intricate details fondants can never be achieved by soft icings. It has a play-dough like smooth, consistency but people always had issues with the flavour of regular fondants. That’s when MMF came to the rescue.
The Marshammallow Fondant or MMF has a very pleasant flavor as compared to the original fonadnt, and people like me, who are a HUGE fan of marshmallows simply love it. And since the marshmallows have Vanilla Essence already in them, so you don’t have to add an extra in this recipe. Love it for its:
- Very easy to make
- Its got marshmallows in it 🙂
- It’s tasty as well
- Can make it into just about anything, flowers, figures, shapes etc
The ratio is simple, Weigh the marshmallows and use double the amount of icing sugar. If you are using 100 g marshmallows, then 200 icing sugar will be used and so on, easy, eh? 🙂
Do not add too much of icing sugar as it will tend to dry your fondant so please don’t.
Try not to OVER grease the pans with oil otherwise your fondant will have an unwanted oily, shiny glaze.
what you need
Marshmallow——————————— 8 oz
Water—————————————— 2 tbsp
Icing sugar———————————— 16 oz
Corn flour————————————- to role the fondant
Oil ———————————————- for greasing the spatula and the bowl.
How it is made
- Take a dry, clean microwave proof bowl and grease it with oil. Grease a rubber spatula with oil as well and set aside.
- Now throw marshmallows into the bowl and sprinkle 2 tbsp of water over them.
- Microwave for 20 seconds, then check, 20 more and check, 5-10 seconds more or until the marshmallows first puff up.
- Give it a good mix with the greased spatula. Stir until smooth.
- Once marshmallows have melted, start adding icing sugar, a little at a time and knead along the way.
- Add enough icing sugar to make the dough play-dough consistency, not sticking, knead vigorously for 10 minutes or until it is smooth.
- Once done, you can use it immediately or wrap it tightly in a plastic paper or cling wrap and store in an air-tight container and then pop it into the freezer. It can be stored like this for up to 2 months.
thank you so much dear 🙂
Wow delicious and easy to make. I will definitely try it this coming weekends and gift it to my girlfriend. I hope she will gonna like it. 🙂
i have two questions :
1. when to use corn flour ??(mentioned in ingredients but not in recipe)
2. only white marshmallows to be used or colourful ones will also do ?
Corn flour is basically used in the rolling of the marshmallow fondant. It is not used in the making of it but once the fondant is ready, dust some corn flour on the surface, marble slab, or kitchen slab and then roll fondant over it. This way the fondant will not stick to the surface you are rolling it on.
Colored marshmallow are good to go if you are going to use the same color for fondant in the end. However if you want to have a white fondant, then pink marshmallows won’t give you white fondant, it’ll be slightly pinkish.
hope now it’s clear to you and thank you so much for your trust 😀
thank you so much for replying 🙂 have made fondant and refrigerated but only used 250-275 gms of sugar and i got play dough consistency do not know how or whether its right or not. Will be using it today on black magic cake which is my husband’s fav cake(his birthday today). hopefully everything will go right 🙂
It’s simple, sugar is double the amount than marshmallows. What was the weight of marshmallows.
Hope everything goes well 😀 Do lemme know how it turned out 😀 what are you making, as in what design? and don’t forget to sprinkle some cornflour on the surface before rolling the fondant to stop it from sticking to the slab.
I knw you wrote double the amount(sugar) but i didnt have to use that much and i have posted the pic on thechefinme facebook page pic is not to gr8 but the cake itself was muaah ( expression used by my hubby ) 🙂
That is excellent anu 😀 Glad that it turned out great for you. Goodie good. And thank you for posting the image, it shows how hard working you actually are, love it.
Hey! Wanted to ask, where do i get the fondant from?
And where do i buy marshmallows from?
hey this is great! definitely gonna try this one for my daughter’s birthday cake than a lot for sharing! but wanna ask at what stage do we add color if v want to make a colored fondant?
hey i made this and it turned out disaster….icing sugar was not used much and it became dry hard dough…and its so pully n stretchy but wen i tried to roll it,it wont even roll 🙁
which marshmallows did you use, fat free or simple ones?
The weather is pretty hot for fondant these days. So that maye the case but mainly it’s wither the tenperature or fat free marshmallows, readily available in market.
Hi, when you knead marshmallow, do you use basic powdered sugar (only sugar, no cornflour) or powdered sugar with cornflour (here it is sold as icing sugar)?
Hi ma’am pls will it be ok if I use white and pink at once because my fondant colour is gonna b pink and here it only pink and white marshmallow we see in every stores
yes absolutely.
