Ingredients
- 160g strawberries
- ¼ cup water or coconut water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 1 teaspoon of zero/low calorie sweetener
- ⅓ cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoon gelatin powder (18g) *
- * To make this recipe vegan friendly, simply replace regular gelatin with a plant based gelatin like Queen's Jel-It-In.
Instructions
Note, we advise you to read these instructions carefully first and have the ingredients ready and organised. These directions require you to work fairly quickly to end up with a light and fluffy marshmallow.
- Step 1: Combine strawberries, vanilla, rose water, water and zero or low-calorie sugar alternative over heat on a sauce pan. Lower temperature to a simmer until strawberries are broken down.
- Step 2: Push strawberries through a sieve so you have about ¾ cup of pulp free juice. Set aside
- Step 3: Combine boiled water to gelatin and whisk quickly until combined well and gelatin dissolves completely. Working quickly so the gelatin does not set, add hot strawberry mix.
- Step 4: Use an electric whisk and beat for approximately 5 minutes until gelatin has thickened to resemble lightly whisked egg whites and has lightened in colour significantly.
Assembly
