How do you make homemade matcha marshmallows?

If you’ve never made marshmallows before, don’t be intimidated! Making marshmallows is easier than you might think. Here’s everything you’ll need:

 

 


Customize your marshmallows’ shape and size

 

 

For ultra thick, tall marshmallows like we made here, use a square 8.5 by 8.5-inch pan. For marshmallows that are a bit thinner, use a 13 by 9-inch pan. The larger pan will yield more marshmallows. 

 

 

You can either cut them small for mini matcha ‘mallows, or large and square, about the size of a graham cracker.


How do I toast my matcha marshmallows?

 

 

For a classic summer activity, toast these matcha marshmallows outside over a campfire with your matcha-loving friends.

No campfire? No problem! You can toast marshmallows in the oven on broil, until the tops turn golden brown. Alternatively, if you happen to have a kitchen torch, toast them using that!
