7 hrsThese Sri Lankan-style marshmallows prove that homemade confections don’t need fancy equipment or corn syrup.
Gelatin blooms in hot water, then gets whipped with dissolved sugar until the mixture transforms into glossy white peaks that set into soft, bouncy squares.
Dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking and enjoy these tender treats plain, in hot cocoa, or toasted over a flame.
Pro Tips
- Keep the gelatin bowl warm in a double boiler while mixing to prevent early setting
- Beat for the full 5 minutes to incorporate maximum air for fluffy texture
- Work quickly when pouring into the pan as the mixture begins setting immediately
- Cut into squares with a knife dipped in powdered sugar for clean edges
Ingredients
Directions
Soften the gelatin with 50ml of hot water. (keep the bowl warm in the double boiler if necessary.
Melt the sugar in the rest of the hot water.
Pour the sugar water into the gelatin and mix them with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes
The mixture will start to set once it cools, so quickly pour the mixture into the container.
