Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bloom the Gelatin
Add 3 tbsp gelatin to ½ cup cold water in a mixing bowl. Let it bloom for 5–10 minutes.
-
Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, heat ½ cup water + 1 cup honey/maple syrup over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Once it starts bubbling, stop stirring and let it reach 240°F (use a candy thermometer if available).
-
Mix It Up
Carefully pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin while mixing on low. Increase to high speed and whip for 10-12 minutes until it forms soft peaks and looks like marshmallow fluff. Add vanilla and salt in the final minute.
-
Pour and Set
Line a pan with parchment paper and lightly oil or dust it. Pour the marshmallow fluff into the pan and smooth it out. Let it set at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
-
Cut and Coat
Lift the set marshmallow slab, dust with arrowroot powder or coconut flour, and cut into cubes. Store in an airtight container.
