Description
These homemade Dandelion & Honey Marshmallows are a natural, vegan-friendly treat made with dandelion petal tea and honey. Soft, fluffy, and lightly sweetened, they’re perfect for a cozy treat or gifting
Ingredients
-
1 cup dandelion petal tea (divided)
-
3 tablespoons Vital Proteins Vegan Gelatin
-
1 cup honey
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 cup powdered sugar or arrowroot powder (for dusting)
Instructions
-
Pour 1/2 cup dandelion petal tea into a stand mixer. Sprinkle the vegan gelatin over the top and allow it to “bloom” for about 10 minutes.
-
While the gelatin is blooming, add honey, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of dandelion petal tea to a saucepan. Cook over high heat for 8-10 minutes until it reaches 240°F (soft ball stage on a candy thermometer).
-
When the honey syrup reaches the correct temperature, turn the stand mixer on low to break up the gelatin.
-
Slowly pour the hot honey syrup into the stand mixer, keeping it running on low to incorporate the syrup into the gelatin.
-
Gradually increase the mixer speed (to avoid splattering) and let it run on high for 6-10 minutes until the marshmallow batter forms stiff peaks and becomes pale white.
-
Grease a 9×9 baking pan and dust it with powdered sugar or arrowroot powder. Use a greased spatula to spread the marshmallow batter into the pan.
-
Let the marshmallows set for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
-
Flip the pan over, slice marshmallows, and dust all sides with more powdered sugar or arrowroot powder.
-
Store in a tightly sealed container for 1-2 days, or freeze for up to 1-2 months
Notes
-
These marshmallows can be stored at room temperature for a short period or frozen for long-term storage.
-
You can substitute the arrowroot powder for powdered sugar if you prefer a smoother finish.
-
Make sure to let the marshmallows set completely before cutting them for the best texture.
