Amys Chocolate Covered Homemade Marshmallow Dipped Strawberries Recipes

CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Whisk together the cornstarch and confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and dust with the cornstarch mixture. Set aside. Reserve the remaining cornstarch mixture.
• Puree the strawberries in a blender until very smooth. Strain into a medium saucepan and add the granulated sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue to boil until the temperature reaches 240 degrees F.
• Stir together the gelatin and 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
• Turn the mixer to low and carefully pour the warm syrup into the gelatin. When you have added all of the syrup, turn the mixer to high and beat until the mixture is very thick and holds stiff peaks, about 15 minutes. Add enough food coloring to turn the marshmallow a pale pink, 3 or 4 drops.
• Coat a rubber spatula with cooking spray and scrape the marshmallow into the prepared baking pan. Grease your fingers and gently press the mixture into the pan, smoothing the surface. Dust with the cornstarch mixture, reserving the remaining for removing the marshmallow. Let the marshmallow dry out at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Sift some more of the cornstarch mixture onto a work surface and turn the marshmallow out onto it. Dust the top. Use a sharp knife to cut the marshmallow into approximately 1 1/4-inch squares, cleaning the knife as necessary between cuts. Dust the squares with more of the cornstarch mixture to coat.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper with cooking spray.
• Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted, about 2 minutes.
• Working one at a time, make sure each marshmallow is evenly coated in the cornstarch mixture but there are no big clumps on the surface. Dip about one-third of the marshmallow into the chocolate and put it on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top with sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows. Freeze or refrigerate the marshmallows until set, about 5 minutes. Store at room temperature up to 2 days.

AMY'S CHOCOLATE COVERED, HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOW DIPPED STRAWBERRIES!

Steps:

• 1. Wash strawberries and let dry completely. If they are not all the way dry the marshmallow will not stick.
• 2. spred out and lightly greas enough wax paper to place strawberries on after they are dipped.
• 3. In a larg mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid mixer bowl) sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water; set aside.
• 4. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining water. Bring to a boil, stiring occasionally. Cook without strring, until a candy thermometer reads 240* (soft-ball sstage)
• 5. Remove from heat and gradully add to gelatin in small stream while beating. Beat on high speed until mixture is thick and the volume has doubled, about 15minuts, it should look like marshmallow cream, beat in vanilla extract. Start next step immediately
• 6. Either buy holding on to the stem or by inserting a wood or bamboo skewers into the stem end carefully dip in marshmallow then set on wax paper. work quicky marshmallow will start to set kinda fast.
• 7. When you are done dipping the strawberries in the mashmallow let them set for about 45min to and hour to let set up a little. There will probably be marshmallow remaining I drop it by spoon full onto the greased wax paper, then toss in powdered sugar (some times I add cocoa power to it) when set up, and store in an air tight container. I like to play around with the extra! You can try all sorts of fun stuff!
• 8. After strawberries with marshmallows have set up a little melt chocolate almond bark or just chocolate in microwave or double boiler. If you are in a hurry I would use almond bark, it sets up way faster then real chocolate. Dip strawberries in chocolate far enough so you can just see the marshmallow peaking out. return to wax paper and allow chocolate to harden.
• 9. Peal strawberries from wax paper and serve! I like to sprinkl with a little powdered sugar.
