Ingredients
  

Blackberry Puree
  • 250 g blackberries
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 15 ml fresh lemon juice
Marshmallow Base
  • 1 piece egg white room temperature
  • 75 ml water
  • 200 g sugar
  • 5 g agar agar
  • 50 g Powdered Sugar to dust

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring blackberries, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp lemon juice to a simmer. Mash berries and simmer uncovered 10 min then strain through a fine sieve. Chill the puree over an ice bath until cooled.
  2. Once puree is fully chilled and slightly thickened, combine it with 1 egg white in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on high speed for 8-10 min until mixture is thick and stiff peaks form.
  3. In a medium saucepan, stir together 1/3 cup water, 2 tsp agar agar and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a low boil, and cook for 5 minutes while whisking constantly.
  4. With the mixer on the lowest speed, pour the agar syrup in a thin stream into the whipped blackberry mixture. Scrape down the bowl and beat for another 2-3 min on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  5. Transfer mixture to a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe roses onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let stand uncovered for 6-12 hours until marshmallows form a glossy film.
  6. Once set, match 2 halves together and roll the sandwiched marshmallows in powdered sugar.

Notes

Ensure the puree is fully chilled before mixing with the egg white to achieve the best texture. These marshmallows are perfect for gifting or enjoying as a sweet treat.
