Ingredients

• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 3 tablespoons water
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mini marshmallows and water. Microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the marshmallows are melted and smooth.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
3. Add the melted marshmallow mixture, vegetable shortening, and vanilla extract to the powdered sugar mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Transfer the mixture onto a clean, greased surface and knead it with your hands until it forms a smooth and pliable dough. If the fondant becomes too sticky, add more powdered sugar.
5. Wrap the fondant in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour before using.
6. When you're ready to use the fondant, knead it again to soften it and roll it out to the desired thickness on a powdered sugar-dusted surface.
7. Carefully drape the rolled fondant over your cake or use it to create decorations.
8. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles with a fondant smoother or your hands.
9. Trim off any excess fondant and enjoy your beautifully decorated cake!
