Deep-Fried Marshmallows | Crispy Golden Marshmallow Dessert
Deep-Fried Marshmallows are a fun and indulgent dessert featuring soft, gooey marshmallows wrapped in a light, crispy coating and fried until beautifully golden brown. The contrast between the crunchy exterior and warm, melted marshmallow center makes this easy treat irresistible.
The marshmallows are chilled before being coated in a simple batter or crumb mixture, which helps create a crisp shell while keeping the center soft and gooey. Once deep-fried, they can be dusted with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or drizzled with chocolate for an extra-special finish.
These crispy marshmallow bites are perfect for parties, fairs, movie nights, dessert tables, and fun family treats. Serve them immediately while warm for the best texture, paired with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or vanilla ice cream.
Cooking Method
- Place the marshmallows in the freezer for 20–30 minutes to firm them up.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cold milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to make a smooth, thick batter.
- Place the crushed graham crackers or breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.
- Dip each chilled marshmallow into the batter, making sure it is completely coated.
- Roll the coated marshmallow in the crushed graham crackers or breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan.
- Carefully fry the marshmallows in small batches for 20–30 seconds, turning gently, until golden brown.
- Remove immediately with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
- Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
