Marshmallow on gelatin

10 servings

60 minutes

Marshmallow made with gelatin is a refined dessert from France, known for its airy texture and delicate flavor. Unlike the classic marshmallow made with agar-agar, this version has a more elastic structure due to gelatin. The sugar base combined with citric acid gives it a subtle tartness, while baking soda helps achieve the desired lightness. The whipped mixture gradually sets into soft clouds of sweetness. Marshmallow pairs perfectly with hot tea or coffee and can be used in pastries—from petits fours to festive cakes. Its uniqueness lies in its simplicity of preparation and versatility, making it accessible even for those just getting acquainted with home cooking.
