Mashmallow Fondant

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 13.5 oz mini marshmallows
  • 3 Tbs water
  • 2 capfulls of almond flavoring
  • almost 2lb. of confectioner's sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the marshmallows and water in the microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds, stir and add flavoring. (if your whole batch will be colored do it now, to save precious kneading time later!)

Pour 1/2 of a 2 lb (that is 1 lb.) bag of confectioner's sugar into a well and add the marshmallow, water, flavoring mixture. Mix with the dough hook on low until combined adding sugar as needed until the ball pulls away from the sided of the bowl and is no longer sticky or crumbly. (if you made a boo-boo and added too much sugar at once just add teaspoons of water at a time to get the proper consistency.

Take fondant ball from mixing bowl, knead with well crisco-ed hands and counter until the texture is smooth and pliable.

Wrap generously in plastic wrap and well, do it again, just to make sure. I then seal in a zip lock, just to make sure, AGAIN. This will store at room temperature for 3-6months. Roll out and cut into shapes as needed, or form flowers and other decorations with.
