• 1/2 cup cold water (for blooming gelatin)

Instructions:

1. Bloom the gelatin:
   In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
2. Dissolve sweetener:
   In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup hot water and powdered erythritol. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
3. Mix gelatin:
   Add the bloomed gelatin to the sweetener mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
4. Whip:
   Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip on high speed for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and forms stiff peaks.
5. Add vanilla:
   During the last minute of whipping, add the vanilla extract (and a pinch of salt if using).
6. Set:
   Pour the marshmallow mixture into a lined (with parchment paper) or greased pan. Smooth the top evenly. Let it set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Cut and dust:
   Once set, cut into squares and dust with powdered erythritol or coconut flour to prevent sticking.
