Apple Marshmallow (Marshmallow de Maçã)
Ingredients
- 6 apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup water, or as needed
- 4 packets unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon sweetener, optional, to taste
Instructions
- 1
Place the peeled and diced apples into a medium-sized pot. Add enough water to partially cover the apples (about 1/2 cup, or more if needed).
⏱️ 2 min
- 2
Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft and easily pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 10-12 minutes.
⏱️ 12 min
- 3
Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the cooked apples directly in the pot until a completely smooth, yellowish puree is formed. Alternatively, carefully transfer the apples and any remaining liquid to a regular blender and blend until smooth.

Transfer the warm apple puree into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add the four packets of unflavored gelatin and the optional sweetener, if using.
⏱️ 3 min
- 5
Beat the mixture on high speed for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. During this time, the mixture will significantly increase in volume (tripling in size) and transform into a very fluffy, airy, and almost white foam with a marshmallow-like consistency.
⏱️ 25 min
- 6
While the mixture is whipping, line a rectangular baking dish (approximately 8x8 or 9x5 inches) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift out the marshmallow later.
⏱️ 2 min
- 7
Once the apple mixture is fully whipped and airy, pour it evenly into the prepared baking dish.
⏱️ 1 min
- 8
Cover the surface of the apple marshmallow mixture directly with plastic wrap, pressing it down gently to make contact and prevent a skin from forming. Place the dish in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
⏱️ 120 min
- 9
Once set, remove the dish from the refrigerator. Lift the marshmallow block out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Remove the plastic wrap and parchment paper. Cut the firm block into desired square-shaped pieces.

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
