Everything to know about homemade marshmallows
This simple maple vanilla marshmallow recipe is from Noelle Kovary (you can find the recipe and more on her instagram @noellekovary).
The great thing about these marshmallows is that the main ingredient is grass-fed beef gelatin. Traditional nose-to-tail diets contained a lot more gelatin. Today’s modern diet contains mostly muscle meats. To counterbalance that, it’s a good idea to add gelatin to your life, especially with a meat-based meal.

How to roast marshmallows (without a campfire)
Roasting adds a depth of flavor to these already delicious marshmallows.
To roast: put your marshmallows on a heat-safe plate and remove all flammable items from the surrounding area. Keeping the flame at a distance, slowly roast the top of the marshmallows until golden brown using a culinary torch. Keeping the flame at a distance will help warm the entire marshmallow without the top browning too quickly.
Use these roasted marshmallows to make s’mores indoors or make a delicious cup of espresso hot cocoa.
