These easy Raspberry Marshmallows are a healthy, homemade alternative to the famous store-bought confectionary. They are 100% Sugar and Gluten free, as well vegan, making for a delicious, guilt-free sweet treat.
Grease a 9 x 13cm slice pan with cooking spray. Line with baking paper, making sure to leave an overhang on the two longer ends. Lightly dust prepared slice pan with Lakanto Icing Powder.
Place the chilled water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the balloon whisk attachment. Sprinkle the agar agar over the water and allow to sit for 5 minutes
Meanwhile, place the Bakers Vanilla Syrup into a deep sided saucepan. This is important as once the syrup cooks it will foam up and double in size. Using a candy thermometer, heat syrup until it reaches 90C. Immediately remove from heat and set aside
Turn mixer onto low speed and begin beating the agar agar and water together until well combined. With the mixer still beating, slowly drizzle in the hot syrup. Once all the syrup has been added, increase speed to high and beat until the mixture becomes thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks
Add salt and raspberry flavouring and red food colouring and continue beating until evenly mixed
Immediately spread the mixture into your prepared pan.Use an offset spatula to spread mixture evenly Cover with plastic wrap and Leave marshmallow to set at room temperature for 2-3 hours to firm up. Alternatively, refrigerate overnight
Line a flat work surface with a sheet of baking paper the size of the marshmallow slab. Sift Lakanto Icing Powder thickly over the top. Using the baking paper overhang, remove marshmallow from pan and invert onto the icing sugar dusted surface. Carefully peel the paper off
Using a long sharp knife, slice the slab into even strips . Cut strips into cubes
Dust all exposed edges with Lakanto icing Powder to prevent sticking.
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days
Tips & Hints:
Agar agar is a vegan form of gelatin made from seaweed. Available at all health food stores and some supermarkets
Mixture is very sticky, it will take time to scrape out all the mixture and to spread it evenly in the pan
Adjust the colour and flavour of marshmallows by adding more or less food colouring and flavouring
