Pumpkin Pie Marshmallows

Fluffy homemade marshmallows with pumpkin puree and seasonal spices.
Servings 1 half sheet pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz Unflavored Gelatin six 0.25 oz packets - these can be found by the jello at the grocery store
  • 10 oz Cold Water divided - 0.25 cup and 1 cup
  • 6 oz Pumpkin Puree 0.75 cup
  • 20 oz Granulated Sugar about 3 cups
  • 22.85 oz Light Corn Syrup about 2 cups
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Corn Starch
  • Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Spray a half sheet pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • Mix 1 part corn starch to 1 part powdered sugar. Sprinkle the parchment lined half sheet pan with the corn starch/powdered sugar mixture and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together 2 oz of cold water and 6 oz of pumpkin puree until smooth.
  • Sprinkle in the unflavored gelatin powder and mix until evenly combined. Put bowl on your stand mixer and set up with the whisk attachment to prepare for the next step.
  • In a sauce pan combine the other 8 oz (1 cup) of cold water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
  • Turn the heat on low and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Once sugar is dissolved, crank the heat up to high until the mixture reaches 245º F. I use a candy thermometer but you can use whatever you have available.
  • Once the sugar mixture reaches 245º F, turn the mixer on low speed and very slowly pour the sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture.
  • After everything is combined, turn the speed up high and whip for about 15 minutes - until the marshmallow mix is thick and fluffy.
  • At the very end, add in the vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice and mix until evenly combined.
  • Pour the mix out onto the half sheet pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with the corn starch/powdered sugar mix and set the tray aside, uncovered, for at least 6 hours to set up.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes, or just use a knife to cut into cubes.
  • Coat each marshmallow in more of the corn starch/powdered sugar mix after cutting to prevent them from sticking together. Enjoy!
