Home made sugar free marshmallows

Makes 30
70 minutes
Difficulty Medium
6 Ingredients

This is a healthier alternative to store-bought marshmallows. You could make it more fructose free by substituting the honey for rice malt syrup.

Ingredients (makes 30 marshmallows)

3 tablespoons gelatine
1 can coconut cream
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup honey
3 teaspoons of vanilla essence
3 drops of beetroot juice (or red food colouring)

Method

Dissolve the gelatine in 1/3 cup of cold water and let sit for 4-5 minutes.
Heat the remaining ingredients (except for the beetroot juice or food colouring) in a small saucepan until almost boiling. Remove from heat and then puree smooth with a stick blender.
Pour half of the mixture into a container and let set in the fridge for an hour. With the remainder of the mixture still in the pan, add the drops of beetroot juice or food colouring. Stir through and pour into a separate container and let set in the fridge for an hour.
Once set, cut them into squares or chunks. Perfect for an afternoon snack.

Notes

Mix it up by using cookie cutters to cut out the marshmallows.

Wow, these look quite pretty! Would love to try making these with the kids if possible as they love marshmallows at the moment.

This recipe is a good find, look just like marshmallows, and so great they are sugar free.

We love marshmallows but I always feel guilty about the amount of sugar that’s used. I’m certainly going to give these a go. Maybe dust some of them with icing sugar as an alternative

Ooh, these look interesting. My first thought was soap! However, the ingredients make me think these could be yummy.

These look great. They must not be as fluffy as a ‘normal’ marshmallow though.

Awesome! I wonder how these would go roasted on the campfire. Thanks for sharing!

  They won’t behave the same way as store bought marshmallows if you’re wanting to melt them on a stick!

great idea and coconut milk good for you, thought you could make mixture of colours and flavours to, like yellow with lemon essences, or blue with minty flavour too

The ingredients look good. However I’m vegetarian so will not use gelatine, but I could use agar agar instead. Heating the honey in this recipe will destroy all it’s beautiful nutrients and what is left is a liquid candy as honey has quite a high sugar content. I would prefer to use coconut palm syrup. I like it it’s coloured with beetroot juice.

Wow how interesting. I use marshmallows to make fondant with but I have never thought of making my own marshmallows. I probably don’t eat them anyway other than when icing a cake.
