Equipment

  • Hand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cold water
  • 6 tablespoon grass-fed gelatin
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Mix cool water and gelatin in a small pot. Let sit 5 minutes, then warm until it gently simmers.
  • In a stand mixer or mixing bowl add salt, syrup and vanilla. Add the water/gelatin mix and turn on low then increase to high speed. Can use a hand mixer.
  • Beat until soft peaks form, which takes me about 5 minutes.
  • Do not over beat or they will be ugly and won't spread into the pan well!
  • Lin a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Dust the paper liberally with cornstarch, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut.
  • Carefully spread the mixture into the pan.
  • Dust the top with more of the same and let rest several hours before cutting.

Notes

  • I like to cut, dust with more of what I did to start, and leave spread out on a
    cookie sheet to air dry a bit so they don't sweat in a closed pan. They can be left
    air drying up to 2 days, and then into a container and they will last a few more
    days. I don't actually know how long they last because we eat them too fast!
  • These are decadent in coffee!!
