How To Make Mango Marshmallows
- Brush a 20cm x 20cm x 3cm baking tray with oil and dust thickly with corn flour all over.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar and glucose in 200ml water.

- Soak the powdered gelatine in 130ml cold water until all the liquid has absorbed.
- Once the sugar syrup has reached the desired temperature, remove from heat and add in the gelatine, stir until dissolved.
- In a stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until hard peaks, while whisking continuously, slowly pour the gelatine sugar syrup into the whisked egg whites in a slow stream.
- Continue whisking until it thickens and becomes opaque. Add your colour and flavour/essence of choice.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray, smooth the top and leave to cool and set.
- In a small bowl mix equal parts icing sugar to corn flour. This will be the mixture to roll the marshmallows in.
- Once set, loosen the edges and turn marshmallows onto a corn flour-icing sugar dusted surface.
- Cut the marshmallow into the size and shape you want, dust the cut pieces in the corn flour icing sugar mixture.
- Leave the marshmallows are room temp for a few hours to dry out and form a skin.
- Store in an air tight container with extra dusting mixture. Use these marshmallows in your favourite smore’s recipe or in a warm cup of hot chocolate.

How To Make White chocolate Mango smore’s
- In a piece of tinfoil, place one marie biscuit down, top with white chocolate pieces and close with another marie biscuit. Fold close the foil to form a parcel and place this parcel on top of a medium cool fire or in the oven to warm and melt the chocolate.
- In the meantime, place a marshmallow on a sosatie stick and roast until lightly brown over the fire or a flame in the kitchen.
- Once the marshmallow is toasted and the chocolate in the cookie is melted, build your smore.
- Open the chocolate filled cookie, sandwich the toasted marshmallow between the two cookies and enjoy immediately while still warm and gooey.
