Instructions

Step 1

Soak the Gelatin

Start by soaking the gelatin in a mixture of raspberry puree and 30 grams (1 ounce) of cold water. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes until it softens and absorbs the liquid.

Step 2

Prepare the Syrup

In a saucepan, combine 40 grams (1.4 ounces) of water and 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of sugar. Stir the mixture while bringing it to a boil.

Once boiling, cook until it reaches 107 degrees Celsius (224 degrees Fahrenheit). If you don’t have a thermometer, check for a thin thread by dropping a bit of syrup and stretching it between your fingers; it should stretch if ready.

Step 3

Whip the Egg Whites

As the syrup is cooking, start beating the egg whites in a bowl using a mixer. Begin at a low speed, gradually increasing it.

Step 4

Combine Syrup and Egg Whites

Once the syrup is ready, carefully pour it into the whipped egg whites in a thin stream, making sure to hit the side of the mixing bowl.

The mixer speed should be set to medium during this step to avoid deflating the mixture.

Step 5

Add the Melted Gelatin

Gently mix in the melted gelatin to the whipped meringue, ensuring everything is evenly combined.

Step 6

Whip to Perfection

Continue whipping the mixture until it becomes fluffy and light, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Prepare the Chocolate Blend

In a separate bowl, combine 20 grams (0.7 ounces) of butter with 10 grams (0.4 ounces) of white chocolate. Mix thoroughly until smooth.

Step 8

Combine Chocolate with Meringue

Gently incorporate the chocolate mixture into the fluffy meringue. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together carefully.

Step 9

Heat the Mixture if Necessary

If the mixture has cooled and thickened, you can warm it slightly in the microwave to make it easier to work with.

Step 10

Fill the Molds

Grease your molds with a thin layer of vegetable oil. Then, spoon the marshmallow mixture into the molds as demonstrated in the video.

Step 11

Chill to Set

Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and allow them to stabilize for 2-3 hours.

Step 12

Unmold and Decorate

Once set, carefully remove the marshmallow treats from the molds. For extra decorative touch, you can dust them with a mixture of cornstarch and food coloring.

Step 13

Enjoy Your Creation!

Your delightful raspberry marshmallow treats are ready! Serve them up and enjoy the delicious taste and tender texture.

Servings

Equipment

Whisk or Hand Mixer

You can use a hand whisk for arm workout fun, but for ease and speed, a hand mixer can be a game-changer, especially when whipping the egg whites.

We recommend:
saucepan

Good for making your syrup. Make sure it has a heavy bottom to prevent the sugar from burning.

Variations

Want to tweak this delicious recipe? Here are some gluten-free and vegan variations! 💚
If you want to go gluten-free, simply replace regular sugar with a gluten-free alternative, and make sure your gelatin is plant-based, like agar-agar, for a perfect outcome! 🌾
For vegan options, replace the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas), and use a vegan butter substitute to ensure you still get that creamy texture. 🌱 Enjoy experimenting while staying true to your dietary choices!

Faq

  • What is the best way to whip egg whites?

    Start with clean, dry equipment and room temperature eggs. Whip at a low speed and gradually increase until stiff peaks form!

  • Why is my syrup not reaching the right texture?

    Make sure to check the temperature using a thermometer, or perform the taffy test by dropping a small amount into cold water. It should form a soft thread when ready!

  • Can I use other flavors of puree?

    Absolutely! You can experiment with raspberry, mango, or any fruit puree you love. Just adjust the amount to maintain the balance of liquid in your recipe.

  • How can I make my pastries even softer?

    The secret is to ensure you've whipped the egg whites to the right consistency and to avoid overmixing when folding in the other ingredients.

  • What if my mixture becomes too thick to pour into molds?

    Gently reheat it in the microwave for short intervals, stirring in between until it’s just fluid enough to pour.

  • How can I ensure my pastries come out of the mold easily?

    Lightly oiling the molds before pouring in the mixture can help. Always let them set well in the fridge too!
