Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring water and corn syrup to a boil.
- Add sugar; cook until hard ball stage.
- Wipe off crystals from the sides of the pan.

- Pour hot syrup over the egg whites and gelatin mixture.
- Beat with a mixer until dull and thickened.
- Stir in nuts.
- Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper to set.
Tips & Substitutions
Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature for better volume when beaten. If you don't have raspberry jello, try using other fruit flavors like strawberry or cherry for a different twist. For a nut-free version, consider adding dried fruits or coconut for texture. Always use a clean bowl and beaters to avoid any greasiness that could prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Raspberry Pink Divinity as a delightful treat alongside coffee or tea. It pairs wonderfully with *Lazy Squash Pispalita for a sweet and savory contrast. You can also use it as a topping for ice cream or a filling in desserts like cakes or pies. For a festive touch, garnish with fresh raspberries or edible flowers.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Raspberry Pink Divinity in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Avoid refrigeration, as the moisture can affect the texture. If you need to reheat it, simply allow it to come to room temperature before serving, as divinity is best enjoyed fresh and at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my divinity not set properly?
If your divinity didn't set, it could be due to undercooking the sugar syrup. Ensure you reach the hard ball stage, which is about 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer. Additionally, humidity can affect the setting, so try to make this on a dry day.
Can I omit the nuts in this recipe?
Yes, you can omit the nuts if you have allergies or prefer a nut-free version. For added texture, consider replacing them with crispy rice cereal or dried fruits. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture will change slightly without the nuts.
How can I make this recipe more colorful?
To enhance the color of your Raspberry Pink Divinity, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture before dropping spoonfuls onto waxed paper. This will give your divinity a vibrant look, making it more appealing for special occasions or holiday gatherings.
