Raspberry Marshmallow Slice

 If you love marshmallow and raspberries, I found a great recipe on the Woolworths website for you to make.  It is Raspberry Marshmallow Slice.  A biscuit base is topped with a jammy raspberry mixture (or I am sure you could sub in raspberry jam), and topped with marshmallow.  The top is then decorated with swirls of melted chocolate.

To make this slice, you will need:

Base

1 packet chocolate coated Scotch Finger (shortbread) biscuits

 1/2 cup dessicated coconut

120g melted butter

Raspberry layer

375g fresh or frozen raspberries

1/4 cup cornflour

1/4 cup sifted icing sugar

Marshmallow

2 teaspoons powdered gelatin

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup sifted icing sugar

50g chocolate, melted, for decoration

For the base, line a 20cm x 30cm slice tin with baking paper.  Put the biscuits into a food processor and whizz into fine crumbs.  Add the coconut and melted butter and pulse until combined.  Press the mixture into the base of the lined tin and refrigerate while you make the topping.

For the raspberry layer, mash the raspberries and put into a small saucepan.  Add the sugar and cornflour and stir the mixture over low heat for 5 minutes or until the raspberries become glossy.  Remove from the heat and allow to cool while you make the marshmallow.

For the marshmallow, put 3/4 cup water into a small saucepan and sprinkle over the gelatine.  Allow to stand for 5 minutes.  Whisk with a fork to combine.

Add the granulated sugar to the gelatine mixture and place on the stove.  Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then turn up the heat to medium and stir over the heat until the mixture boils and thickens, ~ 5 minutes.

Pour the gelatine mixture into a heat proof bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.  Add the icing sugar, then beat the mixture until thick, white and glossy.

Spread the raspberry mixture over the chilled biscuit base, then working quickly, pour over the marshmallow topping and spread evenly over the top of the raspberry layer with a metal spatula.  Allow to set before piping or drizzling melted chocolate over the top of the slice.

Once the chocolate has set, cut the slice into squares, and enjoy!
