South African Marshmallow Dessert
- 1/2 lb marshmallows
- 1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup fresh cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- (Although I give directions as I found it, I think this would make great individual desserts in pretty glasses, decorated with chocolate swirls on top).
- Spray a tart plate with nonstick spray.
- Cut the marshmallows into smaller pieces, and put in a heavy-bottomed pot with the orange juice and vanilla.
- Heat and stir constantly, until the marshmallows start melting. Do not boil! You only want them to melt completely. Add and stir in the vanilla.
- Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
- Beat the cream until stiff, adding the salt, and then fold into the marshmallow mixture.
- Scrape into prepared plate, and leave in fridge to set.
- (I would suggest using only white marshmallows and not add the pink ones. The recipe suggests serving the dessert with custard or ice cream. Seems to me a chocolate sauce might be better).
