Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Standard granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Corn syrup Helps prevent crystallization
  • 210 ml Water For the sugar mixture
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fine sea salt Enhances flavor
  • 1/2 cup Raspberry puree Fresh or store-bought
  • 1/2 cup Freeze-dried raspberries For added texture and flavor

Gelatin Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons Gelatin (unflavored) Bloomed in water for best results
  • 85 ml Water Used to bloom the gelatin

Finishing Touch

  • 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract For flavor enhancement
  • 1/2 cup Organic powdered sugar For dusting and preventing stickiness

Instructions

Preparation

  • Prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by greasing the inside with a light coating of vegetable oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with 85 ml of water and let it sit to bloom for about 5-10 minutes.

Cooking Sugar Mixture

  • In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, 210 ml of water, and fine sea salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Stop stirring and allow the mixture to come to a boil.
  • Once it reaches a temperature of 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer, remove it from heat.

Mixing

  • In a mixing bowl (preferably a stand mixer), combine the bloomed gelatin and raspberry puree.
  • Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the bowl while mixing on low speed.
  • Once combined, increase the speed to high and beat until thick and fluffy, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add in pure vanilla extract and freeze-dried raspberries, mixing until just incorporated.

Setting

  • Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Allow to set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Cutting and Dusting

  • Once set, dust a clean surface with organic powdered sugar, turn out the marshmallow slab, and cut into squares.
  • Dust the cut edges with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Avoid refrigeration to prevent stickiness.
