Making marshmallows at home looks like this:
This delicate delicacy, familiar from childhood, has won the hearts of sweet tooths all over the world. The ancestors of marshmallows and marshmallows, more reminiscent of meringue in their composition, appeared in antiquity in Southeast Asia. Their main ingredients were whipped egg whites and granulated sugar. Then the resulting viscous mass was dried in the sun or baked in an oven. Some chefs decorated the sweetness with pieces of fruit, others added nuts to it.
Recipes for oriental sweets, along with merchants, migrated to Europe. In each country they were improved in their own way. In Russia, the process of creating a new dessert also interested confectioners, because Russian people have always loved delicious food. Ambrose Prokhorov is considered the creator of the apple marshmallow recipe, which is now present on every counter. We will also consider how apple marshmallows are prepared at home.
There was a legend in the Prokhorov family that their great-grandfather got rich in Peter's times selling bast and bought land along the Oka. In his domain, he planted a huge apple orchard, which bore fruit perfectly.
Once the family of the descendant of the first owner of the orchard received a rich harvest of apples and baked some of them. Delicious cooked fruits were also impossible to finish, and Ambrose Prokhorov suggested trying to beat them with whites and dry them. The apples were so sweet that little sugar was added to the mass.
The marshmallow dried in a Russian oven was named Belevskaya, after the lands near the Oka. Two years later, the delicacy won the first medal at the St. Petersburg gardening exhibition. The newspapers glorified the healthy sweetness, and the Prokhorovs were proud of both the head of the family and the garden that had become famous.
There were no more apples left, since they all went to the preparation of Belevskaya marshmallow. Ambrose opened stores in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia.
Nowadays marshmallow is also made according to his recipe in Kolomna, where the Museum of Marshmallows is opened in an old wooden estate. The delicacy is quite dense, it needs to be cut with a knife, but it is as tasty and natural as at the end of the 19th century.
Making apple marshmallows at home is quite simple. It requires few products, but the appearance and taste of the dessert directly depend on their quality.
Prokhorov's contemporary and competitor, merchant A.I. Aprikosov, forced his workers to use only the ripe fruits without the slightest flaw. For the sake of high quality sweets, he planted his own orchards, and workers picked pears, apples and berries in them.
There are several recipes for marshmallows from Russia, the East and Southern Europe. You can try several options to find the one that best suits the tastes of family and friends.
This type of marshmallow is prepared with a minimum amount of sugar. The main ingredient in it is apples. It will require:
The cooking procedure is as follows.
The recipe can be made healthier by not adding granulated sugar. In this case, you will also need juicy and dense, but very sweet apples. For an additional flavor of the marshmallow, a pinch of vanillin or cinnamon is added to the whipped mass.
Lovers of originality use food coloring to give the cakes different shades.
Kolomenskaya marshmallow is looser and sweeter than Belevskaya. Sugar for it will require several times more, and less apples. Due to this, the cake will be airy. Products composition:
This type of marshmallow is a roll of tough thin cakes. Egg white is not included in their composition, but even with it, honey would still not allow the cakes to become airy.
Products composition:
The cooking procedure is as follows.
The same procedure can be done without an oven. The marshmallow will also dry in the sun in 4-5 days, but you need to protect it from flies and wasps by covering it with gauze. At night, the treat should be brought into the house.
In the East, nuts are added to many sweets. Thus, the chef makes their taste more exquisite. Pastila was no exception.
It will require:
The preparation procedure is as follows.
Pastila made on the basis of agar-agar is similar to marshmallows. It turns out to be more elastic than on the basis of whipped protein.
It will require:
The cooking procedure is as follows.
Banana is very sweet, so no sugar is added to it. Its structure is quite airy, and there is no need for protein either. Beat 2-3 bananas well with a mixer, add applesauce and put the mass on a baking sheet covered with foil or baking paper.
The banana pastila dries for about 8 hours and turns dark brown.
Homemade apple marshmallow should be wrapped in paper and put in a bag. This well-baked product can be stored in the refrigerator for several months, but it is unlikely that it will remain intact until that time. The treat is too tasty for family members to forget.
The baking paper from the finished marshmallow cake will not come off easily if it is not moistened with water for a few minutes. Only after that it will not have to be peeled off, and the surface of the cake will remain smooth.
For the preparation of the dessert, apples should be carefully selected. If their pulp is cottony, the dessert will fail. Only dense juicy pulp will give the crust mass the necessary viscosity, and the finished pastille will give a rich taste.
Homemade apple marshmallow will make a special impression on children. Adults will also love that the dessert, usually bought in the store, is made at home. Knowing several recipes, you can choose the right one and adjust the amount of sugar. Someone tries to avoid it, while others have nothing against airy sugary sweet marshmallow cakes.
The photo shows how delicious they are. A natural delicacy does not require additional decorations, but when the marshmallow is served at the festive table, it is permissible to come up with a sprinkling of small multi-colored dots or sugar flowers.
You can add food coloring to some of the mass left for greasing the cakes and, without cutting the marshmallow, turn it into a bright scarlet cake. For each event, it is worth choosing a special decor for sprinkling. There will be plenty of time for this, since the marshmallow dries in the oven for a very long time, but its delicate taste will surpass all expectations.

Interestingly, many did not even suspect that snow-white marshmallows and marshmallows are made from apples. Indeed, there is not enough apple flavor - everything is clogged with a huge amount of sugar. Meanwhile, there are a number of old recipes with a completely different taste, albeit with a similar technology. In most of them, apple marshmallow is prepared in a similar way: mashed baked apples with sugar and egg white are whipped and dried in an oven at a temperature of 70-100C, then the dried layers are stacked on top of each other - and you're done! So that such pastel bars do not fall apart, they are glued together with a pastel mass set aside in advance, and in order to look beautiful, they are coated with it, baked and rubbed with powdered sugar. This pastila is amazingly fragrant, viscous and elastic at the same time, in general, wonderful!
Such a plan is a marshmallow from Kolomna and from Belyov, old Russian "apple" cities. In Kolomna there is even a marshmallow museum, and in Belyov this marshmallow is made and sold by local grandmothers. After looking for recipes on the Internet, I realized that they were all poured from one barrel of one bucket of apples. That is, more precisely, the recipe is the same for everyone.
Therefore, I just opened the book of the unforgettable Molokhovets, in which there are several recipes for such a marshmallow. Molokhovets suggests making marshmallow from green, unripe apples, I don’t know why. But I know that in Belyov marshmallow is made from ripe Antonovka. Why Antonovka? Because it is baked Antonovka that gives mashed potatoes with a high pectin content, which makes it possible to make an excellent marshmallow. In addition, a sour taste is what you need for such products.
Elena Molokhovets's recipe is simple and unpretentious: for two glasses of applesauce - a glass of sugar and 2-3 proteins. I used the following proportion: for 500 g of mashed potatoes (and 100 g of mashed potatoes are obtained from one baked apple) - 2/3 cups of sugar and 1 protein.
The main difficulty in cooking is that it is necessary to maintain a low temperature in the oven (70-100C) for a long time (5-8 hours). This can be achieved by cooking with the door ajar.
What else? It is better to bake the apples whole, the puree will not oxidize and it will turn out light.
500g baked Antonovka apple puree
170g sugar
1 protein
powdered sugar
tray size 20x30cm
Bake the apples until completely soft, spoon out the pulp and mash (using a blender or rub through a sieve).
Add sugar to warm puree, stir.
Cool, cold mashed potatoes are whipped better. Add the egg white and start whisking.
It takes me 5-7 minutes to get a white fluffy mass (it will definitely increase 2-3 times).
Put the mixture in a baking sheet lined with parchment (set aside the glass for spreading). Thickness - 3 cm.
Dry for 5-8 hours at 70C. I dried for 3 hours at 100C, turned it over and another 2 hours at 100C.
Remove paper. If the paper is not removed well, Molokhovets advises keeping it in the closet for a couple of days. But you can just moisten it with water and the paper will come off.
Cut into equal strips with a knife. I get three stripes. Smear them with deferred mass.
Fold on top of each other and brush on the outside with it. Dry for a couple more hours in the oven.
Take out, rub in the icing sugar, it will be beautiful.
Here is such a marshmallow! Slice with tea, milk or cheese!
By the way, if you dry it at a lower temperature, the marshmallow will be lighter. I got a lighter one, but this one tastes better, it seems to me!
