These fluffy treats are made with real strawberry purée for an authentic burst of flavour.

Ingredients:

• 300g sugar

• 300g water

• Powdered gelatine

• 5mls food colouring

• 100g frozen strawberries

• 10g vanilla extract

Method:

• Start by puréeing the frozen strawberries until smooth.

• Strain the strawberry purée to remove any seeds or fibers, leaving behind a smooth liquid.

• In a small bowl, soak the gelatine in 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for a few minutes.

• In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Then, allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.

• Add the bloomed gelatine to the slightly cooled sugar-water mixture and stir until the gelatine is fully dissolved.

• In a stand mixer or with a handheld electric mixer, whip the gelatine mixture on high speed for about 10 minutes until it becomes thick and fluffy.

• Divide the whipped mixture into two equal parts.

• To one part, add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

• To the other part, add the strawberry purée and food coluoring, and mix until the coluor is evenly distributed.

• Line a rectangular container with cling film, leaving some excess film hanging over the sides.

• Pour the vanilla marshmallow mixture into one half of the container and the strawberry marshmallow mixture into the other half.

• Smooth the tops of both mixtures with a spatula.

• Allow the marshmallow mixture to sit in the container at room temperature for about an hour to set and firm up.

• Once the marshmallows are firm, lift the cling film to remove the entire marshmallow block from the container.

• Use a sharp knife to cut the marshmallow block into desired shapes, such as squares or rectangles.

• Dust the marshmallows with a little powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
