Inne

ultimate marshmallow!

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons gelatin powder (Agar Agar can be used as a vegetarian substitute)
1 cup of water
1 cup of honey
1 teaspoon vanilla (other flavors can be substituted or added for different flavors like mint extract, lemon, cocoa powder, etc)
4 capsules of probiotics

Directions:
1. Pour ½ cup of water into a mixer bowl and add the gelatin. Whisk slightly to mix it together and let sit.
2. Pour the other ½ cup of water and the 1 cup of honey into a small saucepan.
3. Slowly bring the water and honey mixture to a boil. If you have a kitchen thermometer, you want it to reach at least 240 degrees. If not, just keep boiling and stirring constantly for 8 minutes.
4. Slowly begin to pour the honey/water mixture into the bowl with the gelatin mix (which will be hardened by now).
5. Turn on your mixer or hand mixer and keep on medium as the honey mixture is added.
6. When the honey mix is added, turn the mixer to high and blend for another 10-15 minutes or until it forms a stiff cream the consistency of marshmallow cream (it should form gentle peaks).
7. Add the probiotics and any flavor ingredients for the last 2 minutes of mixing (except cocoa powder which can be added to the honey mix in the saucepan).
8. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with coconut oil, or line with parchment paper, leaving some on the sides to be able to pull up.
9. When marshmallows are whipped, pour into the lined/greased dish and smooth evenly.
10. Let sit at least 4 hours (overnight is better).
11. Flip on to a cutting board and cut with a well oiled pizza cutter or knife.
12. Store in an airtight container.
Notes: Do NOT store in the fridge as they will melt. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. The probiotics will decrease the shelf life to 3-4 days. Without the probiotics, these will last 2-3 weeks on the counter. - Thanks to Wellness Mama and Tiff for the great recipe! A wonderful recipe to make with any holiday meal!
