Marshmallows originated and became established in world cuisine because French chefs improved the recipe for the old Russian pastila, which was prepared using honey. The French chefs replaced this unusual ingredient with sugar. As a result, they got the classic recipe for modern marshmallows. Cream is a mandatory ingredient in making creamy marshmallows. It should be quite fatty. It is best to choose whipping cream.
Step 1
Prepare the marshmallows. Combine the raspberry syrup and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place the mixture on low heat. Stir constantly until it thickens. Beat the cooled egg whites until stiff peaks form. Combine the sugar-syrup mixture with the whipped cream and gelatin. Mix thoroughly. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to molds and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Refrigerate for 3 hours.
