Agave Marshmallows

Ingredients

• 1 cup agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 ounces unflavored gelatin
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 1/4-1/2 cup cornstarch
• cooking spray

Directions

1. 1

   Place first 3 ingredients in stand mixer with whip attachment on high.

2. 2

   * Marshmallows are approx 80% air. If a stand mixer or handheld (that has a very high speed setting) is not used, I cannot vouch as to the results.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, dissolve the gelatin in cold water.

4. 4

   Lightly spray 8 x 8 inch pan with cooking spray.

5. 5

   * I use a silicon pan as it's much easier to remove the marshmallows.

6. 6

   Sprinkle half of the cornstarch in the greased pan, tilting to coat evenly.

7. 7

   Once the gelatin has dissolved, microwave on high for approx 30 seconds, in 10 second intervals, stirring after each.

8. 8

   Add gelatin mixture to agave mixture and continue to whip on high for 10-20 minutes until fluffy and white.

9. 9

   Spread evenly in pan with lightly greased spatula and let set for 3-4 hours or overnight.

10. 10

    Dust top of marshmallows with remaining cornstarch, cut into squares, remove from pan and dust again.
