Vanilla Custard Marshmallows

Homemade marshmallows, in all of their airy, fluffy glory, are so much better than their premade, store-bought counterparts. They're soft and squishy, and can be flavored a million different ways, making them a DIY lover's dream. Here, Creamy Vanilla Custard plays the starring role, giving these confections a leg up on your average marshmallow. Looking for other flavor variations? Try Salted Caramel or Sweet Meyer Lemon instead, or mix up your own flavor concoctions for something truly unique.
