A type of Western confectionery. Originally it was made using the roots of marshmallow (a plant of the mallow family), but nowadays gelatin is the main ingredient. Whipped egg whites are added to a gelatin solution of sugar and water and stirred, then cornstarch or potato starch is placed in a pouring box to create a round mold, and the mixture is poured into the mold. Once it has hardened, it is removed, but the mixture can also be colored or scented with your favorite flavorings or colors. It can be eaten as is, but if chocolate is poured over the surface, it becomes marshmallow chocolate. It can also be floated in a hot drink, such as cocoa, where it melts and can be used as a substitute for fresh cream.

洋菓子の一種。本来はマシュマロ(アオイ科の植物)の根を用いたが、現在はゼラチンを主材料とする。砂糖、水を入れたゼラチン液に、泡立てた卵白を加えてかき混ぜ、コーンスターチかかたくり粉を流し箱に入れて丸形の型をつくり、その型に流し込む。固まったところで取り出すが、生地(きじ)に好みの香料や色素で色や香りをつけることもできる。このまま食べてもよいが、表面にチョコレートをかけるとマシュマロ・チョコレートとなる。また熱い飲み物、たとえばココアなどに浮かせると溶けて生クリームの代用となる。 [小林文子] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
