This classic and super easy marshmallow slice is sure to be a crowd pleaser! I've been craving this slice for so long! I'll probably eat most of it by myself. This recipe will fill a whole lamington sized tray and I recommend you cut the slices small because it's pretty sweet. ENJOY!

Just checking gelatine, so it's the powder form and not the gelatine leaves?

It's powder as per the ingredients list. You could use the leaves, you would just have to work out the conversion.

Is this suitable for freezing?

Do you think you could sub gelatin for agar agar and butter for a dairy free alternative to make this vegan? Thanks!

Did you tint the marshmallow 2 colours then swirl together?
