Homemade sugar clouds, easy and like those bought
Which jelly beans do you like the most? To me clouds, I call them that but they are also known as hams, sponges, marshmallows or marshmallows, and yes, we have all eaten them, but did you know that they can be made at home, have you ever made them?
Making homemade clouds is very easy and they come out the same as the purchased ones, also if you have children at home they will be happy to help you make them and thus be able to eat their own sweets. I encourage you to try them so that you can see how well they turn out. Let's go with the recipe.
Ingredients
- 400 gr sugar
- 400 ml water
- 40 gr of neutral gelatin
- pink coloring
- marshmallow essence
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup icing sugar
Preparation
- We start by putting the water and sugar in a saucepan until it starts to boil, at that point we set aside and add the gelatin. We dissolve well, put it back on very low heat for a few minutes, but let it not boil because we would spoil the gelatin.
- We set aside, add the flavor and wait for it to cool a little, about 20'-30 'more or less. If we want two colors now is the time to separate the half and add the chosen color.
- Meanwhile we prepare the mold where we are going to pour the dough. We take a cup and mix the sugar and cornstarch, sprinkle the surface of the chosen mold or surface.
- We take our mixture that will be cold but not curdled and we pour it into the blender glass, beat for a few minutes and we will see that the mixture begins to foam. It should have a texture like meringue. Do the same with the two colors if we have separated them.
- At that point we pour the dough onto the mold quickly because it sets quickly. I have put it in a pastry bag, I have made strips on the dusted table and I have braided them.
- We wait a few hours for them to set well and we batter them in the cornstarch-sugar mixture that we have left.
