Homemade Marshmallows

As summer finally kicks off you may find yourself around a campfire making S’mores. We love this classic treat however you might be surprised when you read the ingredient label on standard marshmallows. With corn syrup typically being the first ingredient they just aren’t great for you. Below you can find our favorite easy recipe for homemade marshmallows you can feel good about eating.

Maple Vanilla Marshmallows

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of filtered water

• 3 1/2 scoops of Perfect Supplements gelatin

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

• 1/3 cup of organic maple syrup

Directions:

• Bloom your gelatin in cold water (we like to sprinkle evenly over the water to avoid clumping)

• Once it is bloomed add it to a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Dissolve the gelatin and then add the maple syrup and vanilla.

• Remove the mixture from the heat and and whip it with an electric mixer or a standing mixer.

• This may take about 15-20 minutes. You’ll know its ready when its whipped, thick and fluffy.

• Quickly pour your fluff into a glass casserole dish and let it set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

• Cut into cubes and enjoy!

• If you plan to store these we suggest tossing the cubes in some coconut flour and transferring to an airtight container. (This will prevent them from sticking together)
