EXPERIMENT 5 (final product) - Pisang filled appricot / apple green- mint / Vanilla- Pandan filled kismis


OBJECTIVE
To achieve our objective we decide to make our marshmallow be more fun-able to eat. The solution we made is, to change it colour by using Pisang filled appricot / apple green- mint / Vanilla- Pandan filled kismis . Secondly we try to combine the flavor of the fresh fruits. Lastly we are adding eatable tit bits inside the marshmallow itself.
Ingredients:
·         2 cups Castor sugar
·         1 tbsp. light corn syrup
·         1.5 cups water, separated
·         4.5 tbsp. unflavoured gelatine
·         1 tbsp. Pisang filled appricot / apple green- mint / Vanilla- Pandan filled kismis
·         2 egg whites
·         1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar, for dusting
·         1/3 cup corn-starch, for dusting
·         Optional food colouring or flavouring


Method:
1.    Put the castor sugar with the light corn syrup and water in the sauce-pan on the medium heat. Stir until bubble.
2.    In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup water and the Pisang filled appricot / apple green- mint / Vanilla- Pandan filled kismis.  Let the gelatine sit for 5 minutes, until it is completely absorbed by the liquid. Set the pan over low heat and stir constantly until the mixture is liquid. At this point, you can add additional colors or flavours, if desired.
3.    Let the light corn syrup in a room temperature. Beat the egg white in the mixture, until become foam.
4.    Whisk the gelatine mixture into the sugar syrup. Beat the marshmallow in the mixer until it is thick enough to hold its shape and is completely opaque. Depending on your mixer, this will take about 5-10 minutes.
5.     Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top flat with an offset spatula.
6.    Once the marshmallow has set, dust your workstation with a generous layer of the icing sugar mixture you used to prepare the pan. Lift the marshmallow from the pan using the foil as handles, and flip it face down on the prepared surface. Peel the foil off the top of the marshmallow, and dust the top of the candy with more icing sugar.
7.    Cut the marshmallow block into small 1" squares, or whatever size marshmallows you desire. You can also use sharp metal cookie cutters to cut different shapes out of the marshmallow. Dredge the cut edges of the marshmallows in the icing sugar mixture so that they are not sticky. Your marshmallows are now ready to eat.

EXPERIMENT 1 - Basic Marsmallow

Basic Marshmallow


INTRODUCTION
Marshmallow is one of kind of sweetness that among popular in world. There for our group chose marshmallow as our Final Project. The use of marshmallow to make a sweet dates back to ancient Egypt, where the recipe called for extracting sap from the plant and mixing it with nuts and honey. Another pre-modern recipe uses the pith of the marshmallow plant, rather than the sap. The stem was peeled back to reveal the soft and spongy pith, which was boiled in sugar syrup and dried to produce a soft, chewy confection.

OBJECTIVE
To achieve our objective we decide to make our marshmallow be more fun-able to eat. The solution we made is, to change it colour by using Fresh fruits. Secondly we try to combine the flavour of the fresh fruits. Lastly we are adding eatable tit bits inside the marshmallow itself.

      AFTER EVENT DAY:
     After the event day our job was to update our blogs for the final product according to the format given to us.


      PROBLEM FACED

      During cutting the marshmallow into shapes with mole we found difficult because it was soft and when we were pressing the moles to cut the marshmallow it was slipping.



  RECOMMENDATION

   I think we have to make the marshmallow not in the cake pan but in the mole pans so that we will not find difficulty in cutting, it wastes so much time, but if we will use the mole for marshmallow I mean for making it dry then we can easily get nice shapes and no need to waste time on cutting and it will be in perfect shape. 

  CONCLUSION

   At the end we have concluded that this FID practical was a great fun we have enjoyed it a lot by experimenting on different recipes and of course our final product Marshmallow, we changed it into so many flavors and color to make it more attractive and delicious and whenever we will make it again or eat it from outside we will always remember our lovely lecturer chef zaid for this wonderful opportunity that he gave us.
