Homemade Maple Marshmallows (with Collagen Option) – A Healthy Twist on a Classic Treat

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over ½ cup cold water. Let bloom for 5 minutes.

2. In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, honey, ½ cup water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture reaches 240°F (soft ball stage).

3. With a stand mixer on low, slowly pour the hot syrup into the gelatin mixture. Increase speed to high and whip 8–10 minutes until thick, glossy, and fluffy.

4. Add vanilla and maple extract (and collagen, if using). Whip briefly to combine.

5. Pour into a greased, parchment-lined pan. Smooth the top and let sit at room temperature for 4–6 hours.

6. Cut into squares and dust lightly with arrowroot powder or powdered sugar.
