Simple home made marshmallow for school fetes or fundraisers. Again, resurrected from my teenage years. You can spread this into a slice tray and make it into squares or spoon into little ice cream cones to make marshmallow "icecreams."

- Soak the gelatine in the cold water then heat over a low heat till dissolved.
- Meanwhile, stir the sugar into the boiling water till dissolved, then add the gelatine mix and the vanilla.
- Beat the mixture with electric beaters on high till it is thick and can stand in peaks by itself - about 10 mins.

This makes heaps! and would go really nicely on-top of a shortbread base and ice. My marshmellow turned out very soft and only eatable by spoon. I added a couple of drops of red colouring and I beat it for around 15min, but perhaps needed more as the base of the marshmellow was gooey. - 17 Aug 2009
