Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let stand until softened and absorbed, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, hot water, and half of the corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until dissolved.
  3. Cook the sugar mixture to the soft-ball stage (238°F (114° (116°C)C)–240°F), using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  4. Remove the sugar syrup from heat and let it cool for a few minutes so it is warm but not boiling.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the remaining corn syrup with an electric mixer on high speed. Gradually add the warm sugar syrup, one tablespoon at a time, while beating continuously.
  6. Add the softened gelatin mixture to the bowl and continue beating on high speed for 7 to 8 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes frothy.
  7. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Pour the mixture into a well-greased 7x9-inch pan.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm.

Note

Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (238°F–240°F) for the proper consistency.

Grease the pan thoroughly to ensure easy unmolding if desired, though this dessert is often served directly from the pan.

For best results, use pure vanilla extract rather than imitation vanilla for a deeper flavor profile.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. The texture may become firmer as it ages.

Do not boil the sugar syrup too vigorously to avoid crystallization; stir gently until dissolved.
