Strawberry Marshmallows

June 6th, 2019 | Süßes

In Hamburg they call marshmallows “Hamburg Speck”. Who doesn’t immediately think of the Hamburg Dom [one of the biggest, longest lasting and oldest outdoor fairs in the world] of love apples and Ferris wheel. This recipe for strawberry marshmallows, however, actually tastes even better than the memory can be.

No industrially produced marshmallow has this aroma of fresh strawberries – so fluffy and tender it melts on the tongue. Try it! Together with fresh forest berries, the marshmallows can be arranged for a delicious dessert plate.
