Description

Crispy Deep Fried Marshmallows are a delightful, crunchy, and gooey treat perfect for parties and indulgent desserts. Coated in a golden, crispy batter and dusted with powdered sugar, these warm marshmallows melt in your mouth, offering a delicious contrast of textures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large marshmallows

  • 1 cup pancake mix (or all-purpose flour)

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or cornflakes (for extra crunch)

  • Oil for frying

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

  • Chocolate sauce or caramel (for dipping, optional)


Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.

  • Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  • Roll the coated marshmallow in crushed graham crackers or cornflakes for an extra crispy texture.

  • Carefully drop the marshmallows into the hot oil and fry for about 30–45 seconds, or until golden brown.

  • Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  • Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Serve immediately for the best gooey texture.

  • You can experiment with flavored marshmallows for a twist.

  • If you don’t have pancake mix, substitute it with all-purpose flour mixed with a teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt.

  • Be careful when frying, as marshmallows cook quickly and can burn if left too long.
