Equipment

1 Stand Mixer
1 Candy thermometor

Ingredients

½ cup freeze dried strawberries
1 tbsp gelatin
¾ cup water divided
1 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp beet powder see notes

Instructions

Add the freeze dried strawberries to a high speed blender and blend well into a powder. Set aide.
Using the bowl of a stand mixer (see notes for hand mixer method) add 1/4 cup of water to the base, and then sprinkle over 1 tbsp of gelatin. Set aside to allow to harden. Add the whisk attachment to the stand mixer for later.
Using a medium stainless steel pot, combine 1/2 cup of water with 1 cup of honey. Set the pot over medium-high heat and heat until it reaches 240 F (use a candy thermometer to check the temperature).
Close the stand mixer and slowly (and carefully) pour the water and honey mixture into the stand mixer as you increase the speed to high speed. Whip the mixture for 7-8 minutes.
Add the strawberry powder, vanilla extract and beet powder. Whip for another 2-3 minutes or so, or until the mixture is very thick like marshmallow fluff!
Spoon the fluff into a large glass container. Store in a cool dry place for up to two weeks, and enjoy as a dip for fruit, graham crackers, in whoopie pies, etc!

Notes

The beet powder is optional to add color, but it really adds a big pop of color! I highly recommend it for that bright pink color.

You can also use a hand mixer and simply add the water and gelatin to a large bowl instead of a stand mixer base. But keep it mind that it will take longer for the fluff to come together.

Keep in mind that this fluff does set at room temperature, but all you have to do is add however much you want to a microwave-safe dish and microwave for about 10 seconds for it to return to its original texture!
