Ingredients

• 300 grams Marshmallows
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 700 grams Gluten-free powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable shortening
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a large microwave-safe bowl, place the marshmallows and add the water. Microwave for 30 seconds on high, then stir. Repeat the process until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

Step 2

Add the vanilla extract to the melted marshmallows and stir well.

Step 3

Reserve about 100 grams of the powdered sugar for kneading, then gradually sift the remaining powdered sugar into the bowl of melted marshmallows. Stir with a spoon until it becomes difficult to mix.

Step 4

Dust a clean surface with cornstarch. Grease your hands with vegetable shortening and begin to knead the fondant, incorporating the remaining powdered sugar gradually. Knead until you achieve a smooth and pliable consistency.

Step 5

If the fondant is sticky, add a little more powdered sugar. If it is too dry, you can add a teaspoon of water at a time to adjust the consistency.

Step 6

Once the fondant is smooth and elastic, roll it into a ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for at least an hour before using.

Step 7

When ready to use, dust your work surface with cornstarch and roll out the fondant to your desired thickness for cake or cupcake decoration.
