Description

Indulgent Deep Fried Marshmallows bring sweet, crispy magic to dessert lovers seeking a playful twist on classic treats. Crunchy golden exteriors give way to gooey, molten centers that melt perfectly with each delightful bite you’ll savor.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 bag large marshmallows
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup pancake mix

Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking and Finishing Ingredients:

  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Chocolate sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oil in a deep fryer or large pot, heating to 375F (190C) for optimal frying temperature.
  2. Create a smooth batter by blending pancake mix, water, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour graham cracker crumbs into a shallow dish, creating a coating station for the marshmallows.
  4. Completely submerge each marshmallow into the prepared batter, ensuring thorough and even coverage.
  5. Gently transfer the batter-coated marshmallow into the graham cracker crumbs, rotating to achieve a uniform exterior layer.
  6. Delicately lower the crumb-covered marshmallow into the hot oil, maintaining a careful technique to prevent splashing.
  7. Fry each marshmallow for 30-60 seconds, watching for a rich golden-brown color that indicates perfect crispiness.
  8. Extract the fried marshmallow using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip back into the fryer.
  9. Place the freshly fried marshmallow on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb remaining oil and cool slightly.
  10. Repeat the entire coating and frying process with the remaining marshmallows until all are transformed into crispy, golden treats.

Notes

  • Prevent batter from sliding off by patting marshmallows dry before coating, ensuring a crisp and even outer layer.
  • Create flavor variations by using different extract types like almond or coconut in the batter for unique taste profiles.
  • Opt for large marshmallows to get a better texture contrast between the crispy exterior and gooey interior.
  • Keep oil temperature consistent at 375F to avoid burning or undercooking the marshmallow treats.
