Make Fondant Yourself – Here’s How

So you can make fondant from marshmallows yourself

If you want to make fondant yourself quickly and easily, then use this recipe:

• If you want to use the fondant quickly, and possibly color it, then it is best to make the fondant out of marshmallows.
• To do this, melt about 300 grams of white marshmallows with a few tablespoons of water in the microwave. Don’t set the microwave too high, otherwise, the marshmallows will burn.
• As soon as the mixture is soft enough, mix in 500 grams of icing sugar and knead everything until there are no more lumps.
• If the mass has become too dry, add a little more water. If the mass is too moist, simply use a little more powdered sugar.
• You can now use the fondant you have made yourself for your cake or other pastries.
• If you need colored fondant, you can color it with food coloring. It is best not to use powder paints for this, but gel paints.

Make your own chocolate fondant

There are many other recipes for making fondant yourself. With these instructions, you can make chocolate fondant, but you need more ingredients than for the pure marshmallow fondant:

• This recipe for chocolate fondant is also quick and easy.
• To do this, chop about 200 grams of chocolate (preferably dark) into small pieces and melt them in about 60 milliliters of cream.
• Then sprinkle a teaspoon of CMC powder on top and mix to set. As an alternative to the often expensive CMC powder, you can also use Kukident powder.
• Then melt about 50 to 100 grams of marshmallows with a little water in the microwave as described above and mix the mass with about 250g of powdered sugar.
• Then mix the chocolate mixture with the marshmallow mixture until there are no more lumps. The best way to do this is to dip your hands in powdered sugar or coconut oil to avoid sticking.
• Then wrap the mass in cling film and let it cool in the fridge for about a day. You can then use the homemade fondant as usual.
