Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Pour ½ cup of the water into the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle over the gelatin, stir it in and leave it to bloom into a thick gel. 1:40
- Put the rest of the water, the powdered sweetener, salt and cream of tartar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until it boils and the sweetener has completely dissolved into a clear syrup. 3:40
- Pour the boiling syrup over the bloomed gelatin and whisk until the gelatin dissolves, then add the vanilla. 7:29
- Whip on low, turning the speed up a notch at a time to high, then whip 8–10 minutes until thick, white, about tripled in volume and holding stiff peaks. 8:16
- Spray a 9-inch (23 cm) square pan with avocado oil, scrape in the marshmallow and smooth it as flat as you can. Leave it at room temperature, loosely covered with paper towels, overnight to set. 8:42
- Run a butter knife around the edge, flip the slab onto a board and cut it into 6 rows each way (36 marshmallows) with a serrated knife. 10:57
- Leave the pieces out to air-dry, turning them so every side dries, then store in an airtight container at room temperature — the fridge can make them crystallise. 12:05
Tip. Use 1 more tbsp gelatin for very firm marshmallows, as the cook suggests. They toast with a torch or over a campfire. The count is our estimate: he says to expect six rows, so 6 × 6 gives 36.

Selenium1%
0.6 µg a serve, mostly from beef gelatin (100%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Potassium0%
10 mg a serve, mostly from cream of tartar (94%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Calcium0%
0.9 mg a serve, mostly from beef gelatin (95%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Iron0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from beef gelatin (87%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Magnesium0%
0.4 mg a serve, mostly from beef gelatin (92%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Zinc0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from beef gelatin (80%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin A0%
0 µg a serve. Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve. An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin D0%
0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin E0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from avocado oil spray (100%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin K0%
0 µg a serve. Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Folate0%
0.5 µg a serve, mostly from beef gelatin (100%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin B120%
0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Vitamin B60%
0 mg a serve, mostly from beef gelatin (100%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Omega-30%
0 g a serve, mostly from avocado oil spray (100%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
