Raspberry Marshmallow – Māngohe Rahipere (kore-hēki)
One of my favourite things to make as a young girl was homemade marshmallow. I loved how you could take a few simple ingredients and it would transform from a weird smelling liquid to a super delicious, spongy marshmallow. My version has rahipere tauraki-tio (freeze-dried raspberries) that punch the most beautiful raspberry flavour into the marshmallow. A touch of tote (salt) and wanira (vanilla) also creates the most divine flavour sensation. The best part is, this marshmallow doesn’t need a thermometer or egg whites. You don’t even need to bloom the gelatine! I do recommend using a stand mixer for this though as it is a lot of whipping!

Raspberry Marshmallow – Māngohe Rahipere (kore-hēki)
Ingredients
- 1 C wai (water)
- 1 C huka one (caster sugar)
- 1 tbsp paura tetepe (gelatine powder)
- ⅔ C rahipere tauraki-tio (freeze-dried raspberries)
- 1 tbsp wai (water)
- ¼ tsp tote (salt, fine)
- 1 tbsp wanira (vanilla)
- 1 ½ C kokonati kua whakatōhia (toasted coconut, optional)
Instructions
- Add the wai (water), huka one (caster sugar) and paura tetepe (gelatine powder) in to a pot. Stir it all together with a whisk.
- Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for five minutes.
- As it cools, combine the rahipere tauraki-tio (freeze-dried raspberries) and 1 tbsp wai (water) in to a small bowl. Squash the raspberries with a fork until you get a rough paste. Add the tote (salt) and wanira (vanilla). Stir and leave to the side.
- Pour the slightly cooled sugar mixture in to a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Whip on medium-high speed for 10 minutes. After ten minutes, add in the rahipere (raspberry) mixture.
- Whip for another 5 minutes or until a thick meringue consistency forms.
- Line a 20 cm x 15 cm tin with baking paper. Pour in the marshmallow mixture. Allow it to set for 1-2 hours or overnight. (Note: the marshmallow in the video was a little soft as it had only set for 30 minutes).
- Slice it in to your squares and roll each piece in toasted coconut (kokonati). You could alternatively drizzle with melted tiakarete (chocolate) or just roll each piece in to icing sugar.
- Store the māngohe (marshmallow) in a single layer in a sealed container in the fridge. It will keep well for up to a week.
