Print Recipe

Delicious creamy caramel marshmallow cups combining soft marshmallow, rich caramel, and a smooth outer layer for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup heavy cream, warmed
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup cold water, divided
  • 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Make caramel: Combine 1 cup sugar and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until light golden brown (4-6 minutes). Remove from heat; slowly stir in warmed cream and cook to 230°F. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare marshmallow base: Pour 1/2 cup cold water into mixer bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water and let bloom without stirring.
  3. Cook sugar syrup: Combine 2 cups sugar, corn syrup, and remaining 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Cook until sugar dissolves, then boil until thermometer reads 240°F.
  4. With mixer on low, slowly pour hot syrup into gelatin mixture. Add vanilla and salt. Whip on high speed until thick and fluffy.
  5. Fold half the caramel into marshmallow mixture gently to swirl, then spread into a prepared pan dusted with powdered sugar.
  6. Drizzle remaining caramel over the top and create swirls with a knife. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
  7. Allow to cool completely, then cut into cups or squares using a powdered sugar-dusted sharp knife.

Notes

1. Use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature to ensure perfect caramel and marshmallow texture. 2. Dust knife with powdered sugar to prevent sticking when cutting marshmallows. 3. Swirling caramel gently keeps beautiful patterns without overmixing.
