Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dusting Mix
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for dusting
Matcha Mixture
  • 4 tbsp hot water to dissolve matcha
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder ceremonial or culinary grade
Marshmallow Base
  • 3/4 cup water divided
  • 3 envelopes gelatin
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
For Assembly
  • graham crackers can use gluten-free if preferred
  • chocolate bars milk or dark, or swap with white chocolate

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Candy Thermometer
  • Saucepan
  • 10x8 inch Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Mix powdered sugar and cornstarch. Grease a 10x8 inch baking dish and dust with this mixture to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk hot water and matcha powder until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a stand mixer bowl, combine 1/2 cup water and sprinkle gelatin over it. Let bloom for 10 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup water. Heat until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
  5. Slowly pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin while mixing on low. Increase speed to high and beat 8–10 minutes until fluffy and doubled. Mix in the matcha mixture for 1 minute.
  6. Spread into the prepared dish, dust with sugar-cornstarch mix, cover, and let set for at least 4 hours.
  7. Cut into cubes and store in an airtight container. Toast marshmallows before sandwiching with graham crackers and chocolate for classic s’mores.

Notes

You can use gluten-free graham crackers or dairy-free chocolate for dietary preferences. Try swapping milk chocolate with white chocolate for a creamier taste, or use flavored graham crackers for variety.
