Healthy Marshmallow Recipe

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, pour the cold water and sprinkle gelatin over the top. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the honey (or maple syrup) and heat it over low heat until it reaches a temperature of 240°F (use a candy thermometer for accuracy).

3. Once the honey mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat immediately.

4. Slowly pour the hot honey mixture into the gelatin mixture while whisking continuously at medium speed.

5. Add vanilla extract and salt to the bowl, then increase the speed to high. Continue to whip the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes thick and fluffy with stiff peaks.

6. Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with coconut oil or dusting it with cornstarch to prevent sticking.

7. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

8. Allow the marshmallows to set at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to firm up.

9. Once set, use a sharp knife or cookie cutters to cut the marshmallows into your desired shapes and sizes.

10. Dust the freshly cut marshmallows with a bit of coconut oil or cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together.

11. Enjoy your homemade healthy marshmallows as a snack on their own, in hot cocoa, or roasted over a fire for some s’mores fun!
