A great tasting, easy to work with marshmallow fondant
Ingredients
- 16 oz bag marshmallows shopping list
- 2 tbsp water shopping list
- 1/3 cup Crisco plus more more kneading shopping list
How to make it
- Melt the marshmallows and water in the microwave.
- After they melt remove and quickly scrape into your stand mixer.
- Add 1/3 cup Crisco and begin mixer on low speed.
- Add 3 cups of confectioner's sugar, 1 cup at a time.
- Mixture will be very thick.
- You will only be able to mix for 1-2 minutes.
- Turn out the mixture onto a surface that has been generously greased with Crisco and 2 cups of confectioner's sugar put into a pile.
- Begin kneading the mixture, continuing to add more sugar until the fondant is quite stiff.
- If it starts to crack or appear crusty, dip your fingers into more Crisco and add another tablespoon or so.
- I usually do this 4 or 5 times.
- I knead for about 7-8 minutes.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let rest overnight.
- I had problems with the MMF tearing and being to dry.
- By adding the Crisco, it is much more elastic and easier to work with.
- I did not have to use any cornstarch or additional Crisco to roll out the fondant and it didn't stick at all.
