Description
Marshmallow Fondant is amazing. Mostly in the costs less than buying fondant, doesn't taste as bad and super easy to make sort of way. Plus I've learned that no matter how much it's a BOX CAKE MIX item, decorating it with fondant suddenly makes it 'Wow'. I've also tried the dipped fondant method with this recipe and uh... there were some lessons learned which I'll post another time, but it worked ok.
Ingredients
| 16 | oz | Mini-Marshmallows |
| 5 | T | Water |
| 2 | lb | Icing Sugar |
| 1⁄2 | c | Crisco Shortening |
Instructions
1. Melt marshmallows and 2 Tablespoons of water in a microwave. Put bowl in microwave for 30 seconds, stir, return to microwave for 30 seconds, stir, repeat until melted. 2.5 minutes-ish.
2. Add 3/4 of the powdered sugar to the marshmallow fluff.
3. Grease hands and counter with crisco. Dump marshmallow fluff on top.
4. Knead. Add sugar as needed. Add more grease if needed. If fondant is tearing, add a little (teaspoon ish) of water. 8-10 minutes of kneading should result in a stretchy ball.
5. Double wrap it and let it sit over night in the fridge.
