Ingredients
-
½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, powdered
-
1 Tbsp gelatin (preferably grass-fed)
-
¾ cup water, divided
-
1 cup honey
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: ½ tsp beet powder (for brighter color)
Instructions
-
Powder the berries: Blend freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder; set aside.
-
Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over ¼ cup of cool water in the stand mixer bowl. Let it sit and absorb.
-
Cook the syrup: Combine honey with ½ cup water in a medium pot. Heat to exactly 240°F using a candy thermometer.
-
Whip the base: On low speed, slowly stream the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin. Increase speed to high and whip for 7–8 minutes until tripled in volume and forming stiff peaks.
-
Flavor and color: Add strawberry powder, vanilla extract, and optional beet powder. Whip 2–3 minutes more until fluffy and pink.
-
Jar and set: Transfer fluff to a clean glass jar. Let it cool 30 minutes before using. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
-
For a creamier dip, mix fluff with cream cheese.
-
Use as a sweet layer in parfaits with Greek yogurt and fresh berries.
-
Microwave 10 seconds to revive firmness after storage.
-
Not freezer-friendly; fresh is best.
-
Avoid cheap gelatin brands—they can leave an unpleasant aftertaste.
