Jaffa Orange Marshmallows
Created for Jaffa by Sam Hadadi
3 x Jaffa Juicy Oranges (juiced and zested)
180ml Maple Syrup
120ml Cold Water
80ml Hot Water
3 TBSP Powdered Gelatine
2 TSP Vanilla Extract
Drop of Orange Extract
Optional:
Melted Chocolate (to drizzle)
- Pour cold water into a bowl, then sprinkle over the gelatine. Let it sit for five minutes to bloom
- Pour the orange juice, hot water, maple syrup and orange zest into a saucepan
- Heat over a medium-low heat, stirring until mix is fully combined and warm (for a few minutes) – do not let it boil
- Tip the bloomed gelatine into a large mixing bowl. Use an electric whisk to slowly beat the gelatine as you slowly pour in the warm orange juice / maple syrup mixture
- Once combined, increase the speed on your whisk to high and whip for around 10 minutes (adding the vanilla and orange extract half-way through this process), or until the mixture turns light, fluffy and glossy (the texture of marshmallow fluff – it should be thick and not drip from your fingers!) Once it gets to this stage, do NOT overbeat
- Pour into a silicone tray or lined baking dish, then let sit at room temp for around 4 hours, or until set. Cut into squares, then drizzle over melted chocolate
- Enjoy!
