Ingredients You Need 3 tablespoons gelatin 1 cup water (divided) 2 cups granulated sugar
Bloom the Gelatin Sprinkle the gelatin over ½ cup of cold water in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes thick and spongy.
Make the Sugar Syrup In a saucepan, combine the remaining ½ cup of water with sugar. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves completely.
Reach the Right Temperature Use a candy thermometer to bring the syrup to 240°F (soft-ball stage). This ensures the perfect marshmallow texture.
Mix It All Together Carefully pour the hot syrup into the gelatin while whisking on low speed.
Whip Until Fluffy Increase speed to high and beat for 10-15 minutes until the mixture turns white, fluffy, and triples in size.
Pour and Set Spread the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined pan. Smooth the top and let it set for at least 4 hours.
