Eggnog Marshmallows are perfectly spiced sweet treats with a good shot of rum added ! Nothing better than fresh, homemade marshmallows, especially added to your hot drinks
DUSTING SUGAR: Prepare first - Sieve all the dusting sugar together - line a baking tray ( 20 x 30 cm / 8 x 12 inch ) with baking paper and dust well with some of the dusting sugar - reserve the remaining spiced sugar for later
MARSHMALLOWS: Place 1/2 cup Cold Water in a small bowl - sprinkle the Gelatin Powder over and let sponge
Meanwhile combine the Sugar and Glucose in a small saucepan - add the remaining Cold Water - heat on medium until the Sugars have dissolved
Now place the Egg Whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on low speed until frothy - add the Salt
Once the syrup has reached about 99 deg C ( 210 F ) - use a sugar thermometer - increase the speed of the mixer to high and beat the Egg Whites until thick, fluffy and reach the stiff peak stage
When the syrup reaches 118 deg C ( 235 F ), while the mixer is running on high speed, temper the syrup into the Egg Whites, down the side of the bowl
Scrape the sponged Gelatin into the saucepan used for the syrup - swirl to dissolve
Slowly pour the melted Gelatin into the Egg White mixture as you are whipping. Add the Vanilla, Rum, Spices and continue to beat, 10 minutes, until the outside of the mixer bowl feels completely cool when touched
Pour the Marshmallow into the prepared baking dish and dust the top with more of the dusting sugar - allow to set, uncovered, 6 hours, at room temperature or until set
Use a sharp knife to cut the Marshmallows into squares - dust the sides with any remaining dusting sugar
Keep in a sealed container ( good for 1 - 1.5 weeks )
