VANILLA MARSHMALLOWS (WITHOUT EGGS)

It melts in your mouth; it melts in the hot chocolate; it melts in flames... long live the marshmallows!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 hours
Servings: 30 marshmallows
Course: Bonbons

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g of sugar
  • 30 ml of golden syrup or honey
  • 12 g of gelatine in powder (or sheet)
  • 150 ml water
  • 50 ml water to hydrate the gelatine powder
  • 1 tablespoon of liquid vanilla or other flavourings
  • neutral oil for the mould
  • 50/50 mixture of powdered sugar and cornstarch
  • dye of your choice optional

Equipment

  • Mixer Robot or by hand
  • Casserole
  • Salad Bowl

Method
 

  1. Hydrate the gelatine powder in 50 ml of cold water. If using leaves, soak them in a large volume of cold water for at least 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare a dish, grease it with a little neutral oil and cover it with parchment paper.
  3. In a saucepan heat the sugar, golden syrup and 150 ml of water. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove it from heat. Add the gelatine and mix well until it is dissolved. If you are using the gelatine sheets, drain them well before adding them.
  4. Pour the mixture into a bowl. Whisk until the mixture has a soft meringue consistency. It will take a little while to get the right consistency, about 10 minutes. Then pour into the dish you have previously prepared
  5. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar/cornstarch mixture and let the marshmallow dry overnight, uncovered
  6. The next day the marshmallow is ready and you can cut it into small cubes. If the knife is a bit sticky, you can grease it lightly with neutral oil. Once your marshmallows are cut, coat them well with the icing sugar/starch mixture.
  7. You can keep them for a few days at room temperature, but I doubt they will last long ;)
