Prep Time: 30 mins •  Set Time: 4 hours  •  Total Time: 4 hours 30 mins  •  Makes: 24 marshmallows

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jello powder
  • 3 packages unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup champagne (or Prosecco)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jello powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water

DIRECTIONS

  1. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of jello powder. Sprinkle half the mixture to cover the bottom and sides of the parchment-lined pan.
  3. Add gelatin, champagne, and remaining 2 tablespoons of jello powder into a large bowl; set aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cover and heat over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes.

Heat until the mixture reaches 240°F (about 5-10 minutes). Remove from heat. Using an electric mixer, or a stand mixer, begin whisking the gelatin mixture.
  6. Slowly pour the corn syrup mixture into the gelatin mixture while whisking. Continue whisking for about 12 minutes until combined and fluffy.
  7. Spread the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan.
  8. Sprinkle remaining powdered sugar mixture over top of the marshmallow mixture.
