    Marshmallow
    In a medium-large saucepan dissolve gelatine in the water. Add the Sugar and boil for 8 minutes, then cool. Add the lemon essence and Icing Sugar and beat until thick and creamy. Pour at once over the shortcake and filling and leave to set. Cut when cold.

I just made this. Absolutely beautiful. I agree with everyone else make sure you put it in a high enough tin. First time with the marshmallow and I don’t think I whipped it enough. Still taste a lot like icing sugar. Otherwise beautiful. Thank you!

Very good recipe

It was tasty and very good combo of sweet and sour

Base and filling are amazing but there isn't enough marshmallow topping mixture.

Super yum! Will definitely make this again!

Havent made this yet just wondering if it's possible to swap lemon essence for lemon juice? Looking forward to trying this recipe as the traditional marshmallow slice doesnt last long in my house.
CHELSEA: absolutely lemon juice would work just as well. Yum!

turned out perfect - very sweet. Yes you do need a high tin for this.

Great combination but the marshmallow did not pour on. Maybe I cooled it down too much.

A wonderful great tasting slice!

Delicious combination of sweet and sharp. Only problem was the marshmallow trying to slide off but it still tastes divine.

what size tin is good for this?

Yum, the best lemon slice we have ever made - this one didn't hang around long in our pantry!

Very yummy ... But the marshmallow kept sliding off the top. Also, you need to have a tin with quite high sides, as the topping layers up high!
