MMF = Marshmallow Fondant

Make your own Marshmallow Fondant instead of Plastics icing.

Ingredients:

1. Marshmallows 350g
2. Icing sugar 4 cups or a bit more- sift it first.
3. Water 1-2 tbs
4. Margarine according to your own needs 

The margarine stops the MMF from sticking to the bowl/table/spoon/hands.

Steps:

1. Placethe marshmallows and 1 tablespoon of water in a microwave safe bowl.
2. I like to GREASE the bowl with a bit of margarine.
3. Heat marshmallows  in microwave for 1 minute.
4.  Then stir with a GREASED spoon. Heat until melted.
   
   
   
   
5. Fold in the sifted icing sugar 1 cup at a time into the melted marshmallows.
   
   
   
6. Once the MMF looks dough-like, turn it onto a Greased table/counter.
   
   
   



Greasy hands!!

7. GREASE your hands and start kneading,kneading!
8. Regrease hands/table/counter if needed. (MMF sticks to everything)
9. If MMF tears easily - it is too Dry, add bit a of water.
10. If it is too wet, add bit more icing sugar.
11. Keep kneading until MMF looks like an elastic ball that is smooth and firm.
12. It should be able to stretch without tearing. 
13. Grease your MMF ball and  cover it with plastic cling wrap. Then in a resealable bag.
    
    
    
14. Let the MMF stand overnite. Now your Marshmallow fondant is ready for use.
    
15. If u using pink marshmallows then fondant will be pink.

I always buy the ready to use white plastic icing and colour it with food gels.
I find it better to work with than MMF.
But it is always great to know how to make this tasty Marshmallow Fondant.
It is softer and sweeter and kids love the taste(**;)
