Ingredients

  • 120 g Agar Agar Powder
  • 300 ml Water
  • 400 g Caster Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 80 g Icing Sugar
  • 80 g Cornflour

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine the agar agar powder and water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to hydrate.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Gradually add the caster sugar to the saucepan, stirring until completely dissolved.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the icing sugar and cornflour. Grease a square baking dish and dust it generously with the icing sugar and cornflour mixture.
  • Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Leave the marshmallows to set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the marshmallows into squares. Dust the cut edges with more icing sugar and cornflour mixture to prevent sticking.
  • Store the homemade marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
