Let's face it - traditional fondant is a real pain in the butt. It's hard to work with, and it doesn't taste all that great. This is where my recipe for marshmallow fondant comes to save the day. Not only is it easy to make, but it's also delicious!
Fondant is a dense paste made out of sugar and water that is commonly flavored or colored and used to make candies, ice cakes, and to decorate other baked goods.
In the majority of American-made marshmallows, the sole ingredients are sugar, water, and gelatin. As a result, they are typically gluten-free and dairy-free. But they are not vegan due to the gelatin.

I prefer the microwave method over the stovetop. It's faster and more convenient, but don't forget to adjust your melting time according to your microwave. Nobody likes burnt marshmallows, unless you're into that kind of thing. I typically microwave on High for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Now it's time to add the confectioners' sugar. This step requires some muscle, folks. Get ready to knead that fondant until it's smooth and delicious. You're going to feel like a professional baker in no time.
The final step is to refrigerate your fondant overnight and then use your fondant to decorate your cakes and desserts. Get creative-- the sky's the limit! And don't forget to sample your creations along the way. Quality control is important, people.
