How to Make EASY Toasted Marshmallow Strawberries (Only 2 Ingredients!)
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat, about 350°F.
- Thread each strawberry onto a skewer, then gently press one marshmallow onto the top of each strawberry.
- Place the skewers on the grill and toast the marshmallows, turning carefully every 30 seconds for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and melty.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a minute so the marshmallow firms slightly but remains gooey.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast of warm toasted marshmallow and fresh strawberry.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh, firm strawberries to hold up well on the skewer and balance the sweetness.
- Don’t overcrowd the grill; give each skewer room to toast evenly.
- Keep a close eye on the marshmallows to prevent burning; they toast quickly.
- If you don’t have a grill, use a kitchen torch or broiler for a similar toasting effect.
- Serve immediately for the best texture—marshmallows get sticky as they cool.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover toasted marshmallow strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but keep in mind the marshmallows will firm up and lose some gooey texture.
To reheat, briefly warm them in a toaster oven or under the broiler for 30 seconds to soften the marshmallow again—watch carefully to avoid burning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?
It’s best to use fresh strawberries because frozen ones release water when thawed, making the marshmallows soggy and affecting the texture. If you use frozen, make sure to fully thaw and pat dry.
What if I don’t have a grill?
You can toast the marshmallows using a kitchen torch or under the oven broiler. Just watch closely to prevent burning and turn as needed for even browning.
Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large ones?
Large marshmallows work best as they cover the strawberry tops nicely and toast evenly. Mini marshmallows tend to fall off and don’t toast as well.
Are toasted marshmallow strawberries healthy?
While strawberries provide vitamins and fiber, marshmallows add sugar and calories. Enjoy this treat in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
