Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water (plus 1/4 cup for the gelatin)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups frozen raspberries, thawed
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (plus extra for topping)
- 4 packets gelatin (about 3 tbsp powdered gelatin)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- powdered sugar, for dusting
- vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
Equipment
- stand mixer
- blender
- food processor
- fine mesh sieve
- baking pan
Instructions
- Make the raspberry puree. Blend the thawed raspberries until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Powder the strawberries. Grind the freeze-dried strawberries to a fine powder in a food processor.
- Bloom the gelatin. Whisk the strawberry powder, 1/4 cup water, and vanilla into the raspberry puree, then whisk in the gelatin and set aside to solidify.
- Cook the syrup. Combine the sugar, honey, 1/2 cup water, and salt in a pot over medium heat, stirring constantly until it bubbles up. Pour into a stand mixer bowl.
- Whip. Let the syrup cool a minute, add the solidified puree, and beat until fluffy with stiff peaks, about 10 minutes.
- Set overnight. Pour into an oiled 9×13 pan, smooth the top, cover, and rest at room temperature overnight.
- Cut. Turn out onto a powdered-sugar-coated board, coat all over, top with extra strawberry powder, and cut into pieces.
Notes
- Strain the raspberry puree well so the marshmallows stay smooth, not seedy.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add flavor and color without extra moisture; grind them fine.
- Let the gelatin bloom fully before whipping for a clean set.
- Beat to stiff peaks (about 10 minutes) or the marshmallows will not hold their shape.
- Cure overnight at room temperature; do not refrigerate, which makes them sticky.
