We will dive into the wonder of transforming basic ingredients into something magical. This is designed to be as humanely described and as captivating to your senses as possible.
The Necessary Ingredients (possible in all kinds of variations)
- 2 cups of mini marshmallows (vegan or regular)
- 2 tablespoons of water (or your choice of milk for added richness)
You can substitute mini marshmallows with vegan marshmallows for a cruelty-free option. For a dairy-free version, simply use any plant-based milk instead of water.
The Steps of Preparation (possible in all kinds of variations)
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mini marshmallows and water.
- Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds.
- Stir the marshmallows and heat again in 15-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
- Alternatively, use a double boiler: fill the bottom pot with water and bring it to simmer, placing the top pot with marshmallows and water (or milk) above it, stirring until melted.
- For an air fryer method, preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C), place a heat-resistant bowl with the marshmallows and water inside, and heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the marshmallows are melted, use a whisk or electric mixer to beat the mixture on high until it becomes fluffy and doubles in volume, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Once complete, you’ll have a sensational two-ingredient treat ready to enhance your favorite desserts, top hot cocoa, or simply eat by the spoonful. Full of softness and lightness, spreading joy with every bite.
