Homemade Belevskaya pastila without sugar

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 9 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade Belev marshmallow without sugar? Prepare your food. Baby puree from jars is best suited for such marshmallows - it is sugar-free and very tasty. You can also simply bake the apples and puree them in a blender. Choose sweet varieties so that the pastille turns out sweet without sugar. Take instant gelatin.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a glass or metal bowl—one that can be heated. Pour the puree into it. Add gelatin to the puree and stir. Leave the mixture to stand for 5 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   During this time, the gelatin will swell and the puree will thicken.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the gelatin is swelling, place a saucepan with water over high heat. Choose a size that can accommodate a bowl of puree. There should be so much water that it does not reach the bottom of the bowl. When the water comes to a boil, turn down the heat until it remains at a gentle simmer. Place a bowl on the saucepan. With constant stirring, wait until the gelatin is completely dispersed (melted). The puree will become liquid again. Don't bring it to a boil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the bowl from the heat and wait until the puree has cooled almost completely. Start beating it with a mixer at high speed. Gradually the mass will begin to thicken and lighten. This took me quite a long time, about 10 minutes. But I started whipping the puree while it was still warm, I think that’s the problem. The mixture will be ready when it has the consistency of whipped egg whites.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take a suitable mold (mine is 23*14cm in size), cover it with cling film. Pour the whipped puree into the mold and smooth the top. Place it in the refrigerator to stabilize; I kept it overnight. During this time the puree will become like a marshmallow.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the pastille from the mold and remove the film. The pastille is cut with a knife lightly greased with vegetable oil. It cuts easily and does not stick to the knife. Serve the pastille to the table. Bon appetit!

I really liked Belevskaya homemade sugar-free marshmallow. This is the perfect dessert for me. First of all, I love applesauce. And secondly, this delicacy is super healthy! I've made a similar dessert before, but then I made it from homemade puree. This time I took two jars of baby puree, 190 each. I couldn’t find instant gelatin, so I took the risk of taking regular gelatin, in large granules. In this regard, I left the gelatin to swell longer - for half an hour. The mixture thickened noticeably, melted it in a water bath. And began to wait for it to cool completely. I was afraid that the puree would turn into jelly during this time, but no). I also beat for about 10 minutes. Perhaps temperature is not that important. But the puree brightened well and was filled with many bubbles. The dessert froze for about two hours. After which the layer easily came away from the film and was even cut without problems with a dry knife. In appearance, the marshmallow consists entirely of small bubbles, springy like a sponge. She is mega tender and airy. The taste and aroma of apples is great! You can't feel the gelatin at all. This marshmallow has a natural apple flavor. Thank you very much for the recipe! I recommend!
