– Using a food processor or mortar and pestle, crush the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl. Set aside powdered strawberries for some of the dusting powder, and set aside the remainder for the marshmallows. – Spray an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square ceramic or glass baking dish with oil.
– Combine the powdered sugar and corn starch until well combined. Divide into two bowls. Keep one bowl plain white, and to the other, mix in powdered strawberries. – Generously dust the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the white dusting powder.
– Sprinkle the gelatin in a bowl of cold water. Gently mix to moisten the gelatin, and let it sit. – Combine the sugar, corn/agave syrup, salt, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat.
– In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the gelatin and mix at low speed to break up the gelatin. – Add vanilla. – Transfer half of the marshmallow mixture to the prepared dish, and spread to an even layer.
– Add remaining powdered strawberries to the marshmallow, whisk to combine, and spread into the baking dish. – Let the marshmallows sit uncovered at room temperature. – Cut into squares. Dust cut marshmallows with more dusting powder on all sides.
