Best Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff Mousse Recipes

VANILLA MOUSSE WITH MARSHMALLOW SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. VANILLA MOUSSE: whip the cream to stiff peaks, sprinkle the sugar slowly as you continue whipping, add the vanilla and finish whipping -- then freeze
• 2. Mom gives no directions on how to freeze it. I have thought it would do nicely in a prepared pie crust (any kind), or in individual cupcake liners in a muffin pan, or it could be piped onto parchment paper and frozen in shapes. It could also be put in a bowl, and dipped out like ice cream later. Alternative: since this is basically just frozen whipped cream, you could buy a pkg of frozen whipped topping, too -- Your choice.
• 3. MARSHMALLOW SAUCE: Put the unbeaten egg white, water and sugar in a double boiler and cook over boiling water for 5 minutes BEATING CONSTANTLY with hand mixer.
• 4. Remove from fire, add the vanilla and marshmallows (cut fine) and continue beating until it makes a smooth sauce.
• 5. There are no directions as to whether to use it hot, warm or cold... but I would think it would be nice used like "hot white fudge" sauce on the mousse.
• 6. NOTE: The original recipe calls for 12 of the large marshmallows cut fine, but I figured it would be easier with the mini marshmallows (or even marshmallow creme). It says to cut them fine... so I don't know if it will be a problem to simply use the minies "as is" or if you will need to chop them smaller to make them melt better.
• 7. NOTE: I thought it was interesting that it said "remove from fire" -- this may be a very old recipe because we would have said remove from burner or stove. Just thinking.

MARSHMALLOW FLUFF CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• IN the top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt the chocolate.
• Remove from heat and combine with marshmallow fluff. Stir in 1/4 c of the heavy cream and the vanilla.

• Freeze until firm without stirring.
• Serve.

EASY CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW MOUSSE

Steps:

• Combine the marshmallows, 1/2 cup of the cream, and salt in a large saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate chips on high in a large microwave-safe bowl until mostly melted, 2 minutes. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the chocolate chips and stir until completely combined. Set aside until completely cool, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed or a whisk until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate, covered, until the chocolate mixture is ready.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three batches. It'll take a while to completely incorporate, so be patient. Serve immediately or divide into individual serving dishes or ramekins and refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.

VANILLA MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Lightly spray a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water; let stand for 10 minutes. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; boil rapidly for 1 minute. Remove from heat, and, with the mixer on high, slowly pour the boiling syrup down the side of the mixer bowl into gelatin mixture. Add salt and continue mixing for 12 minutes.
• Add vanilla extract and vanilla bean seeds; mix until well combined. Spray a rubber spatula or your hands with cooking spray. Spread gelatin mixture evenly into pan using prepared spatula or your hands. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place, spray side down, on top of marshmallows. Let stand for 2 hours.
• Carefully remove marshmallows from pan. Remove all plastic wrap and discard. Cut marshmallows into 2-inch squares using a sprayed sharp knife. Place confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Working in batches, add marshmallows to bowl and toss to coat.

VANILLA MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Pour 3/4 cup/180 milliliters cold water into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatin on top, and set aside until the gelatin has absorbed the liquid and expanded, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the granulated sugar, corn syrup and the remaining 3/4 cup/180 milliliters water to a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Clip a candy thermometer to the pan or have an instant-read thermometer at hand. Boil until the syrup reaches 240 degrees, 5 to 6 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
• Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment, turn to low and slowly add the syrup, pouring it down the sides of the bowl. Add the extract and the vanilla-bean seeds (or extra extract). When the syrup is fully incorporated, gradually increase the mixer speed to high, and whip until the mixture is thick and cooled to room temperature, about 12 minutes.
• While the marshmallow mixture is whipping, coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Combine the cornstarch and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl, then generously dust the inside of the pan with some of the cornstarch mixture. (It's important that the bottom of the pan be very well covered.)
• Coat a plastic bowl scraper and your hand with nonstick spray. Scrape the marshmallow mixture into the pan. Use the flat side of the scraper to get the mixture into the corners of the pan and to even out the surface. Sift some of the cornstarch mixture over the top. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and let rest for at least 4 hours before cutting.
• Cut the marshmallows: Dust a chef's knife with some of the cornstarch mixture; dust a piece of parchment paper, too. Run the knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the marshmallow mixture, then turn it out onto the parchment. Cut the slab into 1 1/2-inch squares. Dust all sides of the marshmallows with the cornstarch mixture by dropping a few marshmallows at a time into the bowl, tossing them around and then tossing each one from hand to hand to shake off the excess. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
