Lemon Basil Marshmallows

For the lemon basil marshmallows, first soak the gelatin in plenty of cold water.

Wash the basil, dab dry and chop very finely.

Beat the egg whites with 80 g sugar until foamy. Heat the remaining sugar, dextrose, water and lemon juice until 114 °C. Cook for about 4 minutes until a thick sugar mass is formed. You can tell that the mass has reached 114 °C by the bubbles that then rise very slowly. Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the beaten egg whites in a thin stream.

Squeeze out the gelatine and warm it with 50 ml lemon juice and the finely chopped basil leaves. Add the liquid mixture to the beaten egg whites as well and continue beating until the volume has about tripled.

Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap, dust completely with dextrose and spread the marshmallow mixture on top. Dust the top with dextrose as well.

Turn out the marshmallow slab after 24 hours, remove the plastic wrap, and dust again with dextrose if necessary (if the surface is sticky). Cut the plate into squares of about 3 by 3 cm and turn all sides in dextrose so that the lemon basil marshmallows do not stick together.
