Healthy Marshmallows
Soft, fluffy healthy marshmallows made with honey instead of corn syrup and set with gut friendly gelatin. Just five real ingredients, whipped until pillowy and cut into squares. Perfect for s'mores, hot cocoa, or snacking.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold water 120 ml, divided
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder 21 g
- 3/4 cup honey 255 g
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch for dusting
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper and lightly dust with arrowroot powder or cornstarch.
- Pour 1/4 cup cold water into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the water and let it bloom for 5 to 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, remaining 1/4 cup water, and salt. Heat over medium until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C).
- With the mixer on low, carefully pour the hot honey mixture into the bloomed gelatin.
- Increase the speed to high and whip for 8 to 10 minutes, until thick, glossy, and tripled in volume. Add the vanilla and mix briefly to combine.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a lightly greased spatula.
- Let it set at room temperature for at least 4 hours, until fully set.
- Dust the top with more arrowroot or cornstarch, lift from the pan, and cut into squares.
