Saracino - Preparation mix
MallowUp 500 g
Powdered mix for homemade marshmallows and marshmallow frosting, no cooking required: add water, let it rest, whip.
Saracino MallowUp is a powdered mix 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 makes either marshmallows to cut and leave to dry, or marshmallow cream to pipe directly onto cupcakes, layer cakes, and plated desserts.
Neutral flavor, 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 mix.
- Mix thoroughly until all the lumps have disappeared.
- Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes: this pause is part of the method and allows the gelling agents to hydrate.
- Beat with a mixer for 60 to 90 seconds at medium speed.
- Continue beating on high speed for 5 to 6 minutes, until the mixture is stable, white and well whipped.
For part of the packet, keep 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 mixture
- Homemade marshmallows: spread the whipped mixture on an oiled tray or in a frame, or pipe it into sticks, then leave to dry completely in a dry place before cutting and rolling in a mixture of powdered sugar and cornstarch.
- Colored or flavored marshmallows: add a water-soluble food coloring or flavoring at the end of whipping to make marshmallows to match a theme (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, baby shower).
- Marshmallow cream and frosting: use the whipped mixture as is, piping it to fill and decorate cupcakes, layer cakes and entremets.
- Fillings and decorations: a soft center for a cookie, a hot drink topping, or an insert for an individual dessert or mini dessert.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much water for 500 g of MallowUp?
270 g of room-temperature water for the whole packet, or 54 g of water per 100 g of powder if preparing only part of it. Do not use hot water: the mixture is prepared cold.
Can it be used as frosting without making marshmallows?
Yes. The whipped mixture can be used directly as marshmallow cream or frosting, piped onto cupcakes, layer cakes, and desserts. The only difference from marshmallows is that it is not left to dry.
Why observe the 15-minute resting time?
This is the time needed for the gelling and thickening agents (carrageenan, xanthan gum, alginate) to hydrate. Without this resting time, the mixture will rise less and hold its shape less well.
Is the product gluten-free, and what allergens does it contain?
The manufacturer states that it is gluten-free. It contains egg and may contain milk, peanuts, soy, almonds, hazelnuts, and pistachios. Check the label on the packet purchased.
