Infused with sparkling wine, these adults-only Prosecco marshmallows are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Add edible glitter for an extra dose of glam!
185 milliliters Proscecco, Champagne, or other sparkling wine, divided
20 grams powdered gelatine (2 tablespoons)
400 grams granulated sugar (2 cups)
200 grams corn syrup (1/2 cup)
25 milliliters water (2.5 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Edible foil stars or gold glitter (optional)
Canola oil or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing tin and knife
Coating:
50 grams potato starch* (1/3 cup)
50 grams confectioner’s sugar (1/3 cup)
Marshmallow Slab:
Line an 8×8-inch / 20×20-centimeter square tin with parchment, and coat generously with oil. Set aside until ready to use.
Pour 105 milliliters (1/2 cup) Prosecco into a large mixing bowl (if using a hand mixer), or the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatine evenly over the water, and set bowl aside.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, remaining 80 grams (1/3 cup) Prosecco, water, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and boil, without stirring, until syrup reaches 240° F / 116° C on a candy thermometer.
Carefully pour hot syrup into gelatine mixture. Mix on high speed until very thick, about 10 minutes.
Using an oiled spatula, scrape mixture into prepared tin. Loosely cover with a well-oiled sheet of aluminum foil. Allow to set until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Cutting and Coating:
In a small bowl, combine potato starch and icing sugar.
Cover a large chopping board with a sheet of parchment, and dust generously with starch-sugar mixture.
Turn marshmallow slab out onto dusted surface. Sift top of slab with more of the starch-sugar mixture.
With a sharp, well-oiled knife, cut slab into squares.
Toss cut marshmallows in additional starch-sugar mixture, making sure all sides are coated.
Sprinkle with edible glitter to finish.
Prosecco marshmallows will keep well for several weeks when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
*Readily available in the kosher foods aisle of most grocery stores. If you can’t find potato starch, cornflour/cornstarch may be substituted.
Proper tin preparation is very important for this recipe. Please see this page for a step-by-step guide to lining your tin.
It might be tempting to stir your edible glitter into the marshmallow mixture. However, I highly suggest saving your sparkles and sprinkling them on top of the finished marshmallows instead. I’ve tried incorporating glitter into the marshmallows, but once the mixture increases in volume—and the marshmallows are coated in powder—the sparkles disappear entirely.
