Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Continue to boil for 3-5 minutes, or until the syrup reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage) if using a candy thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, boil until the syrup thickens slightly and forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water.

While the syrup is boiling, add the room temperature egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Begin whisking on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

Once the sugar syrup mixture has reached the desired temperature/consistency, carefully and slowly pour the hot syrup in a thin, steady stream into the egg whites while the mixer is running on medium-high speed. Be careful to avoid pouring the syrup directly onto the whisk.

Increase the mixer speed to high and continue to beat the mixture for 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallow fluff is thick, glossy, and forms stiff peaks. Add the strawberry extract and a few drops of red food coloring during the last minute of beating until the desired color is achieved. The bowl should also feel cool to the touch.
