Guimauve à la vanille: Vanilla Marshmallow, I feel like a happy kid again!

If anyone ask me why I have to do this little treat by myself, the only thing that I can say is "it's fun and more delicious!" I love this kind of sweet since I was a kid, (ok, it's a long long time ago haha).
At that time I really didn't know about it, how it made or what it made from, just eating it with a big smile. When I was  very young, my aunt always bought us many of delicious treats (at that time she liked to buy the imported one, well even the price was higher than local sweet but it's more delicious). I think because of her that I become the person I am today, I love sweet so much, ^^. Marshmallow is one of favorite. But when growing up, I felt the one that I buy from the supermarket is not delicious as it was when I was a kid, and I stopped eating it.
I had made it once for the DB challenge (Mallows) but it's a cookie and marshmellow with chocolate, and at that time my marshmallow is very soft, so I didn't think about making it again, even I have a lot of the recipe for making it.
Until last week, I really think about it, I believe that it's not too hard to recreate it at home and if I can make Italian meringue, I can make marshmallow too, because it uses the same basic. 
After thinking about it in this way (I start to believe the words from one of talent pastry chef  小山 進 (Koyama Susumu) "10 basic knowledge is better than 100 recipes"), I know I can do it.
Then next step is to find the basic recipe for the marshmallow. There are 2 kinds of marshmallow, the one with egg white and the other is without it, I choose the one that contains egg white as it's the same method as making the Italian meringue.
And the result is very good, I love it, the marshmallow is soft and puffy, I feel like a happy little kid again (don't laugh at me, I'm always in a happy mode or feel like a kid when I'm eating something that I like). 
So, I'm really happy to share this recipe with all of you (I believe that you have a little kid inside you too, ^^), and all of us will become a gang of happy kids together.


This time I try my best to write the recipe in Japanese too, let's take a look if you like.

  1. Is glucose syrup same as sugar syrup? Or can I replace with golden syrup? Are they all the same? MH

  2. Hi,
    Glucose syrup is corn syrup ^^, but you can use the golden syrup, or honey too. Actually they can be use interchangeable in this recipe because the main role is for prevent the sugar to become crystallization. But using the glucose syrup or corn syrup is better because it doesn't have any flavor.

  7. You may need to reduce the gelatin into 13g, because the strength of the gelatin, different in each brand. Try spread the marshmallow when it's slightly warm will help too.

  10. Hi! I was wondering i'm using vegetarian gelatin for this recipe, would it be the same amount?

  11. Hi, Misa Misa
    Actually I'm not specialise in vegan food but after reading some article, if you use the one that made for substituting the gelatine you can use it the amount will be 1 teaspoon gelatin = 1 1/2 teaspoons Vegan Jel.
