Prep time 1h | Cook time 8h+ | Servings 10+

INGREDIENTS

3 tbs grass fed gelatin 1 cup of water (I made a rose tea for a nice flavour) 1 cup pure maple syrup 2 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks (you don’t have to put these in, but I find the texture is nicer) 2 tsp. vanilla bean ¼ tsp. sea salt arrowroot flour

METHOD

1. Line and dust a pan with arrowroot powder Add 1/2 cup cold water to a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over water. Set to side..
2. Combine water, maple syrup and salt to a saucepan. Heat to 115°c on a medium-high heat. Make sure the syrup does not boil over. Remove from heat..
3. With a hand mixer or stand mixer on low, slowly add hot syrup into the gelatin mixture by drizzling it down the side of the bowl. When ingredients are combined, add vanilla and egg whites.Beat on high until mixture is light and fluffy and marshmallow sticks to beaters. (If you mix too long the marshmallow will become one big clump and will not pour into your pan.).
4. Spread mixture into pan.
5. Allow the pan of marshmallow to set (several hours or overnight), then turn out on a surface dusted with arrowroot flour. Cut into squares knife coated in arrowroot. Once cut, dust all over with arrowroot to prevent sticking..
6. Store in airtight container.
