Homemade marshmallows made with honey, vanilla, and just five ingredients. These soft, fluffy treats are a fun little kitchen project—and letting them set overnight is the hardest part!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of warm water
- 3/4 cup beef gelatin
- 1 cup of honey
- 1/4 tsp of sea salt
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract
Directions:
1) Pour 1/2 cup of warm water into a mixing bowl
2) Add beef gelatin to mixing bowl and stir contents
3) Let sit for 5-6 minutes
4) While the gelatin mixture rests, add the remaining ½ cup of water to a small saucepan with the honey and salt
5) Bring to a boil, constantly mixing
6) Turn on mixer that contains your water and gelatin - do this at a medium speed (you can do this with a hand mixer as well, just be cautious in the following steps)
7) Slowly add the honey/ water / salt mixture to the bowl while continuing to mix
8) Add the vanilla extract to the mixture
9) You are going to continue to mix for around 15-20 minutes - you will see the mixture begin to change color, getting lighter as more time passes / mix until it becomes stiffer and begins to form peaks
10) Line a 9 × 13-inch pan with parchment paper
11) Add the marshmallow mix to the pan and let sit for 5 hours (at least) the longer you wait, the better! (overnight is best)
12) Cut into desired squares and enjoy!
Storage: Keep in an airtight container on the counter
