Moulded Marshmallows

How to mould home made marshmallow in chocolate or ice cube moulds. Make marshmallow brains for Halloween!

You’ll need

A batch of home made marshmallow but don’t make it until your moulds are prepared!

Ice cube trays or chocolate moulds

Cooking oil spray

2 tablespoons each of icing sugar (US powdered sugar) and corn starch

Method

Spray your moulds with cooking spray

Mix the corn starch and powdered sugar together and dust the moulds with it.

An unusual and sweet 19th century rice pudding dessert.

Ingredients

135gm or 4 1/2oz of sticky rice. I have used medium grain rice.

1 1/4 pints or 600ml water

4 tablespoons of sugar (15ml tablespoons)

1 cinnamon stick

roasted unsalted peanuts

Makes 2 – 3 serves

Method

Put the rice, water, sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan and cook over a gentle heat until all of the water has been absorbed.

Turn off the heat, put on a close fitting lid and leave to cool.

Remove the cinnamon stick.

Rinse some small jell-o (jelly to my non-US viewers) moulds out with water and leave them wet.

Press the rice into the moulds.

Put them in the fridge to set completely.

Put a plate on top of the moud, flip upside down and remove the mould.

Decorate with peanuts.
