Equipment

  • 8 by 8 baking dish
  • mixer
  • wax paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water divided into 2 half cups
  • 3 tbsp gelatin I like grass fed
  • 1 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla optional for flavor. omit for AIP
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot powder to coat the marshmallows

Instructions

  • Line a 8 by 8 inch casserole dish with parchment paper and spread a pinch of the the arrowroot powder to prevent sticking.
  • Now, add 1/2 cup of water to a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin allow it to bloom (sit without touching it) for 10 minutes. Now combine water and the honey in a saucepan on medium heat and bring to a boil for 12 minutes or until a candy thermometer reaches 240 degrees F. Be sure to whisk throughout so the honey gets mixed in.
  • Next, pour the honey mixture in the bowl quickly while whisking on low. Then, kick up the speed on the mixture and whisk for 5-7 minutes until soft peaks form (looking kinda like a whipped cream.) This will turn the mixture from brown to white and it will explode in volume. Now pour the cream into the casserole dish and spread out with a spatula. You will need to act fast as the marshmallows will have started to set for 6 hours in the fridge. Once the 6 hours is up, add the remaining arrowroot on top and grease a sharp knife with oil to cut the marshmallows into 24 small pieces.
  • Once the squares are cut, add them to a bowl and pour in the rest of the arrowroot powder. Toss in the arrowroot powder so they get a white look to them. Store in the fridge.

Be sure not to over whisk your honey mixture or it will set too fast.
