Lemon Lavender Marshmallows

Prep Time30 minutes
Total Time4 hours 30 minutes
Servings: 36 marshmallows

Ingredients

  • 3 packages unflavored gelatin
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 tablespoon lavender
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup corn starch

Instructions

  • Put gelatin and first ½ cup of water into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and set aside.
  • Heat sugar, corn syrup, salt, and the other ½ cup water in a small to medium pot, covered over medium-high heat for approximately 4 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue heating until mixture reaches 240 F. This could take 10 minutes or more.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Begin beating the gelatin mixture with the whisk attachment of the mixer and very slowly pour in the syrup mixture.
  • Beat for an additional 12 minutes.
  • While that's beating, in a separate small bowl combine powdered sugar and cornstarch.
  • Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, and coat the bottom and sides with approximately half of the powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture. Set aside until your mixture is ready.
  • When the 12 minutes is complete, stop the mixer, add in lemon extract and lavender, and then beat for another minute.
  • Pour mixture into the pan and spread evenly with a greased spatula.
  • Sprinkle most of the remainder of the powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture over top and let sit for 4 hours.
  • Cut into cubes with a greased knife. Coat the sides of each cube with the powdered sugar/cornstarch mix and enjoy!
