Ingredients

• 1 egg white
• 200 g sugar
• 40 ml water
• 10 g gelatin (5 sheets)
• 3 tbsp grenadine syrup
• 25 g icing sugar
• 25 g cornstarch
• food coloring

Materials

• Electric mixer
• Thermometer (optional)
• Piping bag (optional)

Preparation

• Soak the gelatin in cold water.
  Put the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Using a thermometer, the temperature should reach 260°F/130°C (or boil for about 5 minutes).
  Start beating your egg white.
• When the syrup has reached the right temperature, drizzle it over the egg white while continuing to beat at low speed. After pouring in the syrup, add the wrung-out gelatin.
• While continuing to beat, add the grenadine and a little food coloring. Continue beating until the mixture is lukewarm.
• Mix the cornstarch with the icing sugar. Sprinkle this mixture onto a silicone baking tray or dish.
• Using a piping bag, pipe the marshmallow into large shapes. If you don't have one, pour the marshmallow directly into a dish covered with the cornstarch-icing sugar mixture. Then sprinkle the marshmallow with the cornstarch-icing sugar mixture, and chill for 3 hours.
• After this time, peel off the marshmallow strands and cut them into pieces.
• Your marshmallows are ready! Store them in an airtight container.
