Marshmallow slice

[Thermomixer]

Ta - thx Lady Flo

i ended up putting a drop of red food colouring in before whipping it. It set beautifully. My kids think they are in heaven. it made a huge amount of marshmallow, more than i could fit in the pan so i placed the rest in moulds.

Not worth trying to convert into TM - but here is Lady Flo Bjelke-Petersens recipe:

Jelly Slice
Base:
Mix 185g melted butter into 225g plain crushed biscuits. Press into base of a greased 25x15cm slice tray.

Filling:
Dissolve 2 teaspoons gelatine in 3/4 cup boiling water. Blend 1 x 400g can condensed milk with juice of 2 lemons and dissolved gelatine. Spread over base and refrigerate until set.

Topping:
Make up 1 x packet red jelly according to directions on packet. Cool before pouring over slice. Chill until set. Cut into squares.

These would be great in mini silicon muffin moulds for individual servings too. Thanks!!

that would look pretty speccy ILB - you would have to be very careful in getting them out of the moulds, but I love the idea

Good thinking ILB

THanks JD and Cream Puff.  I spent an hour going through all my cooking books to find a red jelly slice recipe.  In the end I decided on a composite one of lemon topping and a cheese cake slice.  But here it all is,  GOOD OLD FORUM.

oooh marshmallow in Tmx! 

Another recipe to add to the list!!

love this slice JD, and made it again today. just thought i would add that having made it with limes i prefer the lemons  also because the marshmallow mix needs to cool thoroughly, and works well when beaten for the 12 mins or so when thoroughly cooled - it may be a good thing  to make the marshmallow mix first and pour into another TM bowl or container to cool while you make the rest, as it can turn into "an all day" exercise waiting for it to cool down sufficiently. this mix really needs to reach room temp to fluff up.

you can toast the coconut to garnish in the microwave on a side plate for 3 mins on high. check and zap a bit more if required.

Good one CP63, lemons (if you can't get them for free) are much cheaper than limes. That reminds me, I was going to do a pineapple version so I will try and see if I can manage that whilst it is fresh on my mind. Will do as you suggested, start the marshmallow process first.

Gave the pineapple tart a go this afternoon and have adjusted quantities I used to make it a bit thicker for next time.

440g crushed pineapple, drain and reserve juice
5 tblspns sugar
2 tblspns cornflour
2 tblspns custard powder

Weigh pineapple juice into TM bowl and top up with water to make a total of 350 mls. Add sugar, cornflour and custard powder and cook 8 mins/100^o/speed 3.  Allow to cool then add the crushed pineapple.  Pour over the base and refrigerate whilst making the marshmallow.

You could use all cornflour if you are anti custard powder but it won't be as yellow.
Next time I will make it in a deep sided casserole dish instead of a slice tray.

that looks like a nice variation too JD

This is becoming another of those wonderful versatile dishes Judy.
