Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of milk
- 3 packets of colored gelatin (12 grams each)
- 1 packet of powdered juice (any flavor you like)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin Mixture
- Combine Milk and Gelatin:
- In a pot, add 2 cups of milk and 3 packets of colored gelatin (12 grams each). Make sure the heat is off to start with. Mix everything well until the gelatin is fully incorporated into the milk.
- Dissolve the Gelatin:
- Turn on the heat to medium and continue stirring the mixture. Keep stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved. This step ensures that the gelatin is properly mixed and will set correctly.
Step 2: Add the Flavor
- Incorporate the Powdered Juice:
- Once the gelatin is dissolved, turn off the heat and add a packet of powdered juice of your choice. The powdered juice will add flavor and color to the marshmallow. Stir well until the color is vibrant and the juice powder is fully mixed into the gelatin mixture.
- Cool the Mixture:
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature. This step is important as it prevents the gelatin from setting too quickly and allows it to mix evenly when whipped.
Step 3: Whip the Mixture
- Prepare for Whipping:
- Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. This will make it easier to use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Whip the Mixture:
- Using the mixer on the highest speed, whip the mixture for about 10 minutes. The goal is to incorporate air and double the mixture in size. The mixture will become light and fluffy, resembling whipped cream in texture.
Step 4: Set the Marshmallow
- Prepare the Dish:
- Lightly oil a dish of your choice. This prevents the marshmallow from sticking and makes it easier to remove once set.
- Transfer and Spread:
- Pour the whipped marshmallow mixture into the prepared dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring a smooth top.
- Chill to Set:
- Place the dish in the freezer for about an hour to allow the marshmallow to set. The freezer helps to firm up the mixture quickly.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove and Slice:
- After an hour, remove the marshmallow from the freezer. It should be firm to the touch. Use a knife to cut the marshmallow into squares or any shape you prefer.
- Optional Topping:
- If desired, you can sprinkle a bit of sugar on top of the marshmallows. However, they are delicious as is with no added sugar.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the marshmallows immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These marshmallows are light, fluffy, and bursting with flavor, making them the perfect treat for any occasion.
