Marshmallows Makes 12
30g gelatine (3 x 10g sachets)
2 cups castor sugar
vanilla or strawberry essence
food colouring (optional)
Cornflour for coating
1. Dissolve the gelatine in 125ml boiling
water whisking together with a fork. Keep
in bowl of hot water until ready to use so
it does not gel.
2. Using a bowl and a metal spoon combine
the sugar, 250ml boiling water and
vanilla. Stir and add the dissolved
gelatine.
3. Mix on “LO” speed for 2 minutes slowly
increasing to “HI” speed. Leave on “HI”
speed for 10 minutes or until the mixture
becomes thick and creamy. Add a few
drops of your favourite food colouring
(optional). Beat for a further 5-7 minutes,
until mixture is very stiff and fluffy.
4. Lightly grease 2 x 22cm square tins or
similar with vegetable oil.
5. Scrape down sides of bowl occasionally
during beating.
6. Spoon mixture onto oven slides, spread
evenly. Leave to set at room temperature,
approximately 30 minutes.
7. When firm to touch, cut into cubes or fun
shapes that the kids will enjoy. Toss in
cornflour.
Note: Marshmallow mixture can also be
piped onto oiled trays, if you have a piping
bag and nozzle.
Serving suggestion:
Marshmallow’s are great served in hot
chocolates or coffee. They are a fun
afternoon treat for the kids and can be used
to make rocky road.
