3 Ingredient Cranberry Marshmallow Clouds
These super easy marshmallows are honestly as light and silky as a cloud. The best I have ever tasted and the good thing about them, you can use whatever flavors and colors you desire to be festive. Try lime, cherry or lemon, adding more food coloring while beating for brighter marshmallows. The reason I chose sugar-free, by the way, is not to cut down on sugar(although it helps)but because the sugared variety doesn.t mix well with the little water we use. This is also a good project to get the kids involved in if you don't have a stand mixer. Let them hold the electric mixer for a few minutes.

When all of it has been drizzled in, increase speed to high and continue to beat for 12 mintues, or until significantly lighter in color and almost tripled in volume. Scrape into the prepared pan, smooth the top, cover and refrigerate utnil completely set, about 2 hours. Loosing the edges with a butter knife and cut into desired sizes with a sharp knife. Place some powdered sugar in a large plate and coat some or all sides so that it isn't sticky. Enjoy.
