Coconut-Ice Marshmallows Recipe

In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.

In a saucepan, combine the water, corn syrup, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally.

Increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the hot mixture over the coconut mixture and stir until well combined. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until evenly colored.

Press the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Allow the marshmallows to set at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or refrigerate for faster setting.

Once set, cut into squares or use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.

Serve and enjoy!
