How to Make Homemade Marshmallows No Corn Syrup

  1. Dust an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with powdered sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, soak 3 packets (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) of unflavored gelatin in 8 tablespoons of cold water. Set aside.
  3. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the saucepan.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring continuously.
  7. Remove from heat and immediately pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
  8. Let stand until the mixture is lukewarm (about 10-15 minutes).
  9. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or your desired flavoring).
  10. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is fluffy, glossy, and has doubled in volume (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  11. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  12. Let stand at room temperature until completely set and no longer sticky to the touch (at least 4-6 hours or overnight).
  13. Cut into 1.5-inch squares.
  14. Roll the marshmallows in powdered sugar (or toasted coconut flakes) to coat.
  15. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
