I love to work w/ fondant. My past expereinces w/ mmf was that it always tasted too sweet. I’ve played around with several concoctions and variations and I think I’ve found the ultimate taste. It is pliable, easy to use and DELICIOUS. Try it for your self and let me know what you think!

Rhonda’s Ultimate MMF

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. mini marshmallows
    2 T water
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 tsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
    2 tsp light corn syrup (helps w/ pliability)
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/2 tsp lemon extract
    2 lbs (approx 7 C) confectioner’s sugar, sifted
    1/2 C Crisco or vegetable shortening

Instructions

    Grease microwave proof bowl w/ Crisco. Also grease wooden or heat proof spoon. Pour marshmallows and water into bowl. Microwave for approximately 2 minutes stopping and stirring at 40 second intervals. Mixture should be soupy.

  2. Take out of microwave and immediately add corn syrup, lemon juice, salt and extracts. Stir well. Sift confectioner’s sugar into mixture, one cup at a time. After approximately 5 cups, grease your hands well with Crisco and knead the mixture in the bowl. Add the sixth cup and continue to knead. Now grease your work surface well and turn mixture out of bowl onto counter. Sift remaining sugar, regrease hands, and knead well. If mixture seems soft, add one additional cup of powdered sugar.
  4. Shape into a mound and put a coating of crisco on outside. Double wrap in cling wrap and insert into ziplock bag. Press air out of bag and seal. Allow to rest overnight, but, can be used after sitting for a few hours.
  6. **Quick note, if you can order the Princess Cake and Cookie emulsion it will be well worth it. It gives this fondant a delicious flavor and I have been able to convince brides who hated fondant to order fondant wedding cakes after sampling my fondant. Hope you like it!
