Ingredients
- 2 cups of finely sifted confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons of softened butter
- 3 tablespoons of light corn syrup
- A hint of salt, about ¼ teaspoon
Step 1
Begin by sifting confectioners' sugar multiple times into a bowl to ensure a smooth texture devoid of any lumps. Next, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, corn syrup, and salt until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Gradually incorporate the sifted confectioners' sugar into the mixture.
Step 2
Once the fondant is ready, transfer it onto a work surface generously sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Proceed to knead the fondant until it reaches a smooth and pliable consistency, typically about 5 minutes. Divide the dough in half and wrap each portion in plastic wrap before refrigerating for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep it Cool and Dark : Store your decadent chocolate cherry fondant in a cool, dark place to preserve its rich flavor. Avoid direct sunlight as it can cause the chocolate to melt.
- 2. Air-Tight Container : To prevent your fondant from drying out, store it in an air-tight container. This will also help maintain its freshness for longer.
