250g (1 cup) filtered water
3 Tbsp organic gelatine powder (use a 20ml Tbsp)
200g raw honey (can be reduced further if you prefer)
1/2 tsp vanilla powder (or 1 tsp organic vanilla extract)
1/4 tsp sea salt
(For optional natural colours, and a version without vanilla, see Notes below)
Thermomix Method:
Conventional Method:
Optional – Natural Colours and Coatings:
· For a bit of fun, add a few drops of natural colour at the beginning of the whisking time, or add some colour to desiccated coconut, and toss the marshmallows through to coat.
· You can buy natural colours like Hopper Natural Colourings.
· Or get creative and make your own natural colours! Here’s some tips for making natural food colourings.
· Another option is to add powdered colours. I used 1 tsp beetroot powder in the pink marshmallows, and it made them taste amazing! I also tossed it through the coconut for pink coconut. You can make your own beetroot powder by drying thin slices of beetroot in a dehydrator for a couple of days, then grinding in the Thermomix to make powder.
· Toss through melted chocolate and roll in coconut for yummy ‘lamington marshmallows’ – you can use my chocolate recipe, here.
· Make Rocky Road for an extra special treat!! See tips below.
HAVE FUN!
