Janie

Lovely recipe, but I mixed it a bit much & it started setting before I put it in the tin but grandkids will love it.

Hi, Very easy and a perfect result.

This doesn't even deserve one star

Piper

I loved this recipe! It was so fluffy and set amazingly. I Also a tip is that the marshmallow mixture set super quickly so make sure to get it in the tray when it's smooth! Thanks for yet another amazing recipient!

Chaanah

My daughter just used this recipe for a school project - very easy and set well.

Christina

I made the recipe twice and both times it turned out a gloopy mess. I wouldn't recommend this one because I've tried better recipes although it does taste nice.

Debbie

Quick and easy - worked every time for me. I used it in a science lesson with primary school kids. Thanks for the recipe!

Method

Grease a 30 x 20cm lamington tin and line with baking paper.

Whisk gelatine with ½ cup cold water in a heatproof jug. Stand for 5 minutes. Microwave on high/100% for 30 seconds or until gelatine dissolves. Set aside to cool.

Put Chelsea Caster Sugar and ¼ cup cold water in the small bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for 5 minutes or until mixture turns white. Add cooled gelatine mixture and vanilla extract. Beat for 8 minutes or until white and very thick. Add pink (or green) food colouring, 1 drop at a time, beating well after each addition until desired colour. Spoon marshmallow into prepared tin and spread evenly. Set aside for 2 hours or until set. Remove marshmallow from tin and cut into star shapes using a 6cm star biscuit cutter. Put 1½ cups toasted desiccated coconut in a shallow bowl. Coat stars with coconut. Serve or package and give as gifts.
