Hi Aarthi, is it ok to use normal powdered sugar instead of icing sugar?
@Sunandano icing sugar is what should be used
Aarti, thanks for the wonderful recipe. Actually if you line the tray with cling film and extend it to the outside part of the tray, you can easily lift it up and peel off when it is set.
Hi arthi, Can I use the whipped up mixture to replace melted marshmallows in other recipes?
Do we have to keep it in room temperature for overnight?
