Marshmallows


Serves 10

INGREDIENTS
• 3 tbsp of grass fed gelatin powder
• 1 cup hot water (not boiling)
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 split vanilla bean or flavour with peppermint, lemon or orange extracts



METHOD

  1. Use an electronic mixer for this as it needs to keep moving. In the bowl of the mixer, whisk the gelatin and half the water & set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, place the other half of water, honey or maple syrup, and salt.
  3. This needs to get hot and have plenty of room to bubble, hence the big pot. You can use a thermometer to get it over 200°C or use the ice bowl method.
  4. Remove from heat and start your mixer with the gelatin in the bowl on low, beginning to break it up. Carefully start to pour the hot syrup into the gelatin slowly while the mixer is still moving on slow.
  5. Start to turn the mixer up until all the hot syrup is added and the mixer is on the highest setting.
  6. Add your flavouring and mix for 10 minutes until it looks fluffy. Transfer the marshmallow to a lined tin. (we used mashed blueberries in ours)
  7. Set in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight. They will keep for a week in the fridge.

Benefits:

The gelatin in this recipe will also work a gut health miracle and the kids will be very happy!
