Hello, and welcome to FridgeCam
If you eat as much food as I do, then you're gonna love this show!
Coming up in the fridge today
It's all about marshmallows,
we show you how to make a Raspberry Ripple Marshmallow Ice Cream
we take shop bought marshmallows and make savory marshmallows
BUT FIRST
we enter Ben's Candy Shop
and he shows us how to make Rainbow Twist Marshmallows
First Take
There was a young man named Ben
who was forced to do THIS by his friends
then one day he snapped and he got his own back
and put THIS into each one
of them
Welcome to Ben's Candy Shop
Today we're tackling home-made marshmallows
But not any old type, we're going for rainbow twisted marshmallows
And this is how you make them
Basically, it's whisked up egg whites
sugar syrup
and gelatin
to the sugar syrup is caster sugar, liquid glucose and water.
in a pan heated up until it reaches 120 degrees Celsius
you will need a sugar thermometer for this
keep an eye on it
Next up, you want to dissolve the gelatin leaves
so place them in a small saucepan
cover them with cold water and leave them for a few minutes
you'll need the exact number of leaves of gelatin
to the exact amount of sugar and liquid glucose and water
you can get full weights and measurements on SortedFood
and thirdly the eggs
but you just need the egg whites
two large eggs at room temperature
the egg whites into a mixer with a whisk attachment
and whisked up until soft and fluff-
soft,
light and fluffy
Once your sugar mixture reaches 120 degrees Celsius
you need to do two things at once
luckily I have two hands
Firstly, pour your sugar syrup into the mixer while it's mixing
Secondly, put your gelatin leaves on the stove
to warm up
This is partly cooking the egg whites
and giving it loads of extra volume
and then once all of your gelatin has dissolved in the warm water
add that in too
you can see all the steam
and feel it's really quite warm
so while it cools down at a slightly slower speed
we can get the next bit ready
grab yourself
piping bags
you want three of them
and you want to turn them inside out
over a jug
it makes getting sticky marshmallow mixture into it, much easier.
Something about the hat it make me do THIS more
And the last bit of preparation
is to take an equal combination of cornflour and icing sugar
and put it into a sieve
use that to dust over baking trays
that's where you'll pipe your meringue (marshmallow)
Now, working pretty quickly
we're gonna divide this mixture into three bowls
colour each one with a nice pastel colour
and transfer each of those
into a piping bag
Finally, before it sets up
snip it and pipe it as long as possible and about a 1cm thick
One final dust over these and then leave them to set a room temperature for a couple of hours
Next up, for the twist to our marshmallows
now dust your board with the same mixture
cornflour and icing sugar
and put some on your hands
so your fingers aren't too tacky
Then lift up one strand of marshmallow at a time
Roll it on the board, don't worry if there's too much icing sugar and cornflour mixture
A lot of that will dissolve into the marshmallow
And the rest you can shake off later on, when it sets up
Lay one strand, next to a second strand, next to a third
all different colours
and pin them at each end with cocktail sticks
Now twist from one end until you get a full spiral
and your gonna have to leave at room temperature
to remember their shape for several hours
possibly even over night
like a good mattress they will hold the shape you put them in
And there you go, overnight they set up and they hold their shape
That is Twisted Rainbow Marshmallows
SORTED
But if you don't wanna go the fuss of making your own home-made marshmallows
Then here are my oompa lumpas to show you a few recipes you can make with store bought ones.
This is
OK, we're gonna start by whipping some double cream in a bowl to soft peaks
and then we're gonna carefully fold in some condensed milk
Next up we're gonna melt our marshmallows
over a gentle heat in a saucepan
Get them nice and sticky
and then we're gonna pour them into our ice cream mix
And mix it all up
We're gonna do that quickly because the hot marshmallows is gonna get tha- sta- and in
it's gonna be very sticky and very fun

I apologise
on behalf of Mike
This is enough to make two bowls of ice cream
I'm just gonna make one here
ripple it with the raspberry coulis
and you get the idea
now like any good ice cream
we're gonna put this in the freezer
to set up
and then you're gonna wanna take it out about 20 minutes before you want to eat it
so you get some great scoops
Now, if I was to use some really funky language to describe that
I would describe that as cheeky
I would describe that as naughty
and possibly,
guilty
Recipe number two, now we all know the best bit of a hot chocolate
are the marshmallows on top
but WHAT IF the marshmallows were the drink
and the chocolate was within that?!
Good question, aint it?!
And it starts with a blow torch
You wanna toast your marshmallows
so they're all brown all over and gooey inside
now, I know what you're thinking
I haven't got a blow torch
well fear not
just get some wood
build a little fire in the garden
get that going
all gather round
with some marshmallows and you get the same sort of effect
but a lot easier
Then, get your butter into a hot pan and bring that up to a foam
Then add your marshmallows, your brown sugar and a pinch of clove
Who bought this in, seriously?!
Once that is all stirred and combined
you wanna add all of your milk in a little bit at a time
and bring that up to a bubble
Now that's bubbling
in goes your chopped dark chocolate
and your double cream
Once that is all done, take it off the heat and let it do it's thing
Nailed that.
I feel sleepy
That's gonna be your blood sugar level dipping below normal
Urm, now I think that FridgeCam had everything
It did!
It had the real life marshmallow man!
What did ya say?
