Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup raspberry puree
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons gelatin powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting
- Pink food coloring optional
Instructions:
Prepare a square 9x9-inch 23x23 cm baking pan by greasing it and dusting with powdered sugar
In a small bowl, mix the raspberry puree and water
Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt
Stir until the mixture reaches 240F 116C on a candy thermometer
Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the bloomed gelatin mixture, stirring continuously until well combined
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed for 10-15 minutes until it becomes thick and fluffy
Add vanilla extract and a few drops of pink food coloring if desired and continue to beat for another 2-3 minutes
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula
Drop dots of raspberry puree on top of the marshmallow and swirl with a toothpick to create a ripple effect
Let the marshmallow set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight
Once set, dust a cutting board with powdered sugar and turn the marshmallow out onto it
Cut it into squares using a knife or cookie cutters
Dust the cut marshmallows with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking
Enjoy your homemade Raspberry Ripple Marshmallows!
