Ingredients for making marshmallow at home with agar-agar.
For the cream:
- apple puree – 130 g;
- egg white – 1 piece;
- lemon juice – ½ tsp.
For the syrup:
- water – 75 g;
- sugar - 200-250 g;
- agar-agar – 5-8 g.
- powdered sugar for dusting.
Preparation
- The first step is to whip the apple puree with the egg white and lemon juice. The egg white and puree must be from the refrigerator.
- Transfer the ingredients to a deep bowl.
- We will whisk the apple and egg white mixture using a simple hand mixer for about 5-7 minutes, until stiff peaks form.
- The next step is to prepare the syrup. We will need water, sugar, and agar-agar.
- Pour the ingredients into a saucepan with a thick bottom, stir, and place on the stove to heat up.
- Heat the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat. Continuously stir the mixture with a silicone spatula, ensuring it does not settle to the bottom.
- The syrup should continue to cook for about seven minutes. The syrup is ready when it drips from the spatula in a thin 'thread.'
- Return to the apple and egg white mixture. Whip it for another minute, while continuously mixing, gradually pour in the syrup in a thin stream. Whip the resulting mixture for about 5 minutes, it thickens and practically wraps around the whisk - this means the marshmallow cream is ready.
- Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag with a wide nozzle.
- Pre-prepare a sheet of parchment paper, drawing circles on it with a pencil. Then flip the parchment sheet over so the pencil does not contact the products. Pipe the marshmallow according to the drawn circles, so the dessert will be of nearly the same size.
- To ensure the bottoms of the marshmallows are even, first pipe a 'star,' then make a couple of turns around it. Leave the prepared marshmallows on the parchment to set at room temperature. This will take 8-12 hours.
- After 8-12 hours, the marshmallow has set and thickened, it holds its shape well but remains sticky. Dust the marshmallow with powdered sugar, making it easy to handle.
- The marshmallow can be left in halves or joined in pairs. Connect the dessert by the 'bottoms.' Since the 'bottoms' are without sugar, they stick together well and hold as pairs.
According to the classic recipe, marshmallow at home with agar-agar is ready. Transfer the dessert to a plate, brew tea with turmeric and invite everyone to the table.
Enjoy your tea!
