Homemade Marshmallows

Tweet


Directions
Step 1

Grease a 3cm deep, 16.5cm x 26cm (base) slab pan. Line base and sides with baking paper, allowing a 3cm overhang at both long ends.

Step 2

Combine sugar and 2/3 cup hot water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear.

Step 3

Using a whisk or fork, combine gelatine and 2/3 cup of cold water in a jug. Pour this mixture into hot syrup. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until gelatine has dissolved and mixture is clear. Pour into bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes).

Step 4

Using an electric mixer, beat sugar and gelatine mixture on high for 6 to 10 minutes or until very thick. Add vanilla and food colouring to reach desired colour and beat for 1 minute. Spread into prepared pan. Smooth top. Set aside, at room temperature, for 1 hour or until set. Lift onto a board and cut into squares using a wet knife.

Step 5

Optional: Place coconut in a shallow bowl. Once freshly cut, roll marshmallow into coconut to coat. Remove to a wire rack until surface feels dry.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
  • 2 tbs McKenzie's Gelatine Powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pink food colouring, optional
  • 2 cups McKenzie's Fine Desiccated Coconut, optional
