Marshmallow Fondant

Homemade Marshmallow Fondant:

Ingredients:

Marshmallow - 125 gm
Icing sugar - 250 gm + extra if needed
Water - 1 Tbsp
Butter - to grease work area and hands

Method:

In a large microwave safe bowl , add 1 Tbsp water and marshmallows and heat on High for 1 minute or until marshmallows begin to puff up and melt. Stir the marshmallows until a thick paste is obtained.
Add powdered sugar into the bowl 1/4 cup at a time and stir until the sugar and marshmallows are somewhat mixed together.
Over your kitchen counter spread some powdered sugar and add the marshmallow-sugar mixture here and knead continuously until a smooth dough is obtained.
(You may use butter or oil spray to grease your kitchen counter and also your hands , so that the dough does not stick to your hands).
Wrap your fondant in cling wrap immediately, coated with some powdered sugar or shortening and keep it aside for sometime. Before using, again knead until soft and use as needed.
To color the fondant:
Take the required amount of fondant and using a toothpick add some color into the fondant and knead well until the desired color has spread across the entire fondant ball. Or you can add food color along with the water before microwave the marshmallows.
