Pumpkin spice latte with marshmallows: An easy recipe to try fall

Ingredients for pumpkin marshmallows

To make approximately five servings of marshmallows, you will need:

• 150 ml pumpkin juice

• 15 g gelatin

• 250 g sugar

• A pinch of citric acid

• Food coloring (optional)

• 2 tbsp powdered sugar

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

To extract the juice, take approximately 400–500 g of peeled pumpkin and run it through a juicer. If you don't have one, add 100–200 ml of water to the pumpkin, blend until smooth, and strain the mixture through a sieve.

How to make pumpkin marshmallows

Add the gelatin to 75 ml of pumpkin juice, mix well, and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then melt the mixture in a double boiler or microwave.

In a separate saucepan, combine another 75 ml of pumpkin juice with the sugar and a pinch of citric acid. Place over medium heat and cook for about 5–6 minutes, until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Start beating the gelatin mixture with a mixer. Bring the syrup to a boil, then slowly pour it into the gelatin in a thin stream while continuing to beat. Keep mixing until the mixture becomes thick. If desired, add food coloring at the end.

Lightly grease a dish with oil and transfer the mixture into it. Cover with plastic wrap that has also been lightly greased with oil, then refrigerate for several hours.

Once the marshmallows have set, combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch, then coat the marshmallows in the mixture. Store them in an airtight container.
