Ingredients
- 1 cup cold water, split into half
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup light maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla flavor
- ¼ cup powdered sugar , for dusting
Equipment
- sauce pot
- mixer
- loaf pan
Instructions
- Grease a glass loaf pan with baking spray.
- Pull out your mixer with the wire whisk attachment.
- Combine gelatin, vanilla and ½ cup cold water in the mixing bowl. Allow it to sit in the bowl.
- Combine maple syrup and ½ cup cold water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Use a thermometer to make sure the maple syrup water mixture reaches 240°. This should take about 10-ish minutes.
- Once desired temperature is reached, slowly and carefully pour heated mixture into the gelatin and water mixture while slowly increasing the speed of the mixer to high.
- After about 5-8 minutes your marshmallow mixture should start to resemble marshmallow fluff. Once this happens, turn off your mixer.
- Quickly pour marshmallow mixture into your greased loaf pan and spread evenly. If it is hard to spread the marshmallow mixture you can microwave the mixture for 10-20 seconds, This will soften the mixture and make it spreadable again.
- Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes before cutting into cubes.
- Once you are ready to cut the marshmallows, dust your cutting surface with powdered sugar. This will prevent the marshmallow from sticking to the surface.
- Dust the marshmallows again once they are all cut into cubes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
