Ingredients

• 400 grams Mini marshmallows
• 900 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable shortening
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 as needed Gel food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your workstation by cleaning the surface thoroughly. Lightly grease your work surface and hands using a bit of vegetable shortening.

Step 2

Place the mini marshmallows and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring after each interval, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth (usually 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

If using vanilla extract for flavoring, stir it into the melted marshmallow mixture at this stage.

Step 4

Sift the powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Reserve about 1 cup of the sugar for kneading, and gradually add the remaining sugar to the melted marshmallows, stirring with a greased wooden spoon or silicone spatula.

Step 5

Grease your hands generously with vegetable shortening, and turn the marshmallow mixture out onto your prepared work surface. Begin kneading in the reserved powdered sugar, a little at a time, until the mixture forms a soft, pliable dough. This process takes about 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

If the fondant becomes too sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it feels too dry and starts cracking, knead in a few drops of water or more vegetable shortening.

Step 7

If you want colored fondant, add gel food coloring during the kneading process. Knead until the color is evenly incorporated.

Step 8

Once the fondant is smooth and stretchy, it is ready to be used. Wrap the fondant tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container if not using immediately. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
