Recipe: Vanilla marshmallow stars

How to Make:
- Brush a baking tray with oil to grease. Line with non-stick baking paper. Place the water in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatine and set aside for 1 minute to soften.
- Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the pan. Add the sugar. Place over low heat. Stir until gelatine and sugar dissolve.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Use an electric beater to beat for 10 minutes or until thick, light and fluffy. Spread over the prepared tray to form a 2cm-thick, 16cm square. Smooth the surface. Set aside for 1 hour or until set.
- Lightly dust a sheet of non-stick baking paper with cornflour. Turn the marshmallow onto the cornflour on the paper. Remove the top sheet of paper. Lightly dust the top of the marshmallow with cornflour. Use a 3.5cm star-shaped pastry cutter dipped in cornflour to cut 16 stars from the marshmallow.
