Saracino – Preparation Mix
MallowUp 500 g
Powdered preparation for homemade marshmallows and marshmallow frosting, no cooking required: add water, let it rest, then whip.
Saracino MallowUp is a powdered preparation that replaces the classic marshmallow recipe (cooked sugar syrup, gelatin, whipped egg whites) with a single cold-preparation step: add room-temperature water, let it rest, then whip. The mixture gradually increases in volume until it becomes stable and firm. Depending on how you use it, it produces either marshmallows to cut and leave to dry, or marshmallow cream to pipe directly onto cupcakes, layer cakes, and plated desserts.
Neutral flavor and white color: the ideal base to color and flavor according to the season or cake theme. Formulated without gluten, with egg albumin as a foaming agent.

Instructions
- Pour 270 g of room-temperature water over the 500 g of preparation.
- Mix thoroughly until all lumps have disappeared.
- Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes: this pause is part of the method and allows the gelling agents to hydrate.
- Whip with a mixer for 60 to 90 seconds at moderate speed.
- Continue at high speed for 5 to 6 minutes, until you obtain a stable, white, well-whipped mixture.
For part of the packet, maintain the ratio of 54 g of water per 100 g of powder. Also refer to the instructions printed on the original packaging.
Two Uses for One Preparation
- Homemade marshmallows: spread the whipped mixture onto an oiled tray or into a frame, or pipe it into strips, then let it dry completely in a dry place before cutting and coating it in a mixture of powdered sugar and cornstarch.
- Colored or flavored marshmallows: incorporate a water-soluble coloring or flavoring at the end of whipping for marshmallows matching a theme (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, baby shower).
- Marshmallow cream and frosting: use the whipped mixture as is, with a piping bag, to fill and decorate cupcakes, layer cakes, and entremets.
- Fillings and decorations: a soft center for a sponge cake, a topping for a hot drink, or an insert for an individual dessert or single-serving cake.
Please note: contains EGG. May contain: MILK, PEANUTS, SOY, ALMONDS, HAZELNUTS, and PISTACHIOS. Gluten-free. Always check the ingredients, allergens, and traces listed on the purchased packaging before use. For marshmallows that hold their shape, work in a dry environment and wait until they have fully stabilized before packaging or placing them on a cake.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much water is needed for 500 g of MallowUp?
270 g of room-temperature water for the entire packet, or 54 g of water per 100 g of powder if preparing only part of it. Do not use hot water: the preparation is made cold.
Can it be used as frosting without making marshmallows?
Yes. The whipped mixture can be used directly as marshmallow cream or frosting, with a piping bag, on cupcakes, layer cakes, and desserts. The only difference from marshmallows is that it is not left to dry.
Why is it important to observe the 15-minute resting time?
This is the time needed for the gelling agents and thickeners (carrageenan, xanthan gum, alginate) to hydrate. Without this resting time, the mixture will not whip as well and will hold less effectively.
Is the product gluten-free, and which allergens does it contain?
The manufacturer indicates that it is gluten-free. It contains egg and may contain milk, peanuts, soy, almonds, hazelnuts, and pistachios. Check the label on the purchased packet.
