Description

These Crispy Deep Fried Marshmallows are a delightful treat with a golden, crunchy exterior and a gooey, melted interior. Perfect for a quick dessert or party snack, they are dipped in a light, sweet batter and fried until perfectly crispy. Serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent finish.


Ingredients

Marshmallows

  • 12 large marshmallows

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frying

  • Oil for deep frying

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate sauce


Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep saucepan to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the marshmallows fry quickly and evenly, achieving a crispy exterior without melting through.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine the dry ingredients evenly for a smooth batter.
  3. Prepare the Batter: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a consistent coating for the marshmallows.
  4. Coat Marshmallows: Dip each large marshmallow into the batter, making sure it is fully coated to create a thick layer that crisps up during frying.
  5. Fry Marshmallows: Carefully drop the battered marshmallows into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to prevent overcrowding. Fry them for 1–2 minutes while turning occasionally until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried marshmallows from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil, ensuring they remain crisp.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: While still warm, dust the fried marshmallows with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra layer of sweetness and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure the oil temperature stays around 350°F (175°C) for best frying results.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid lowering the oil temperature and soggy coating.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture and gooey interior.
  • Optional toppings like cinnamon sugar or caramel sauce can also be used for variety.
  • Use caution when frying as hot oil can cause burns.
