Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 packets unflavored gelatin (approx. 28g/1 oz)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup cold water, divided
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Approx. 1/4 teaspoon pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar & cornstarch (equal parts for dusting)

Method
 

  1. In mixer bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Bloom for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, remaining 1/2 cup cold water in saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
  3. Insert candy thermometer and cook syrup without stirring to 240°F (115°C).
  4. Remove syrup from heat and slowly pour hot syrup into bloomed gelatin with mixer on low.
  5. Increase mixer to high and whip for 12-15 minutes until very thick and glossy.
  6. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan and line with parchment. Dust with powdered sugar/cornstarch.
  7. Immediately scrape whipped mixture into the pan and spread evenly with an oiled spatula.
  8. Cool at room temp for 30-60 minutes, then roll into a tight log from the long edge.
  9. Dust rolled log with powdered sugar and let sit at room temp for 4+ hours or overnight.
  10. Transfer log and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices, dusting cut sides.

Notes

Ensure accurate temperature for perfect texture. Bloom gelatin fully and work quickly during preparation.
