    For this recipe, I am using Giant Braai Marshmallows (which you can find at Food Lover’s Market stores), as I wanted white marshmallows only to make this Nougat. In South Africa, most of the packages usually come with a mixture of white & pink marshmallows & I didn’t want the pink ones to go to waste. Of course, you may add pink ones in as well if you prefer.

    As this choice of marshmallows are quiet big, I snipped them into smaller pieces to make the melting process easier.

Frequently Asked Questions & Cooking Tips

Expert kitchen guidance and troubleshooting for making the best Marshmallow Nougat

How should I store Marshmallow Nougat to maintain freshness?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 to 2 weeks. For milk-based sweetmeats like burfee or soji, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 to 10 days.

Can I substitute butter with margarine or oil?

Pure butter or ghee provides the authentic rich aroma and texture characteristic of traditional Indian sweetmeats and bakes. Margarine can be used in a pinch, but butter delivers superior flavor.
