Healthy Marshmallows

Step 1

Pour 1/2 cup of water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let sit for five minutes.

Step 2

Place 2/3 cup of water in a deep saucepan. Add the honey and salt, and cook without stirring until the temp reaches 230 degrees.

Step 3

Turn the mixer to the lowest setting and slowly pour the hot liquid mixture in. Add the vanilla and continue to mix on low for a few minutes.

Step 4

Slowly increase your mixer speed incrementally, and mix for a total of 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

While the mixer is running, butter a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 6

The marshmallows are done when you lift up the mixer arm to elevate the whisk into the air and the mixture holds for 5 seconds.

Step 7

Pour the thickened mixture in, and push it down with your hands. Leave it uncovered for 12 hours.

Step 8

After at least 12 hours, remove the solid marshmallow rectangle and cut through it using kitchen shears to create individual marshmallows.
