Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) Flavored gelatin (any color/flavor)
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Marshmallows
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch glass dish with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the flavored gelatin and 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes until fully dissolved.
Add the cup of marshmallows to the dissolved gelatin. Stir until the marshmallows are fully melted. If necessary, microwave the mixture for about 15 seconds to help dissolve the marshmallows completely, then stir again.
Pour 1/4 cup of cold water into the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch glass dish.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and let the gelatin set for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is firm but not fully hardened.
Once the gelatin has set, gently pull up one side to loosen it from the dish. Carefully roll the gelatin from one edge to the other to form a tight log.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into pinwheel-shaped pieces about half an inch thick.
Serve immediately, or store the pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
