“Marshmallow” is the name of a dessert containing tiny, gelatinous marshmallows in a sweetened sauce, often served in “marshmallows”. The name “marshmallow” is probably derived from maraschino, a type of liqueur made from the marasca cherry, from which a candied sweet was originally made.

What is it made of?
user
The most popular type of marshmallow is a combination of sugar, cornstarch, gelatin, and sometimes eggs and water.  It can be pink or white, and sometimes speckled. It can also be flavored, including with lemon, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, or peppermint. It may be toasted or not, and there is also a type made from ground rice.

According to an online information: "A typical marshmallow contains sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin, plus some air."
Air?  That's weird.
user
It's a common misconception that marshmallows contain air. It's just that, under the right conditions, when air is introduced into the mixture, it expands and puffs up.

Now it makes sense.
