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.

Sounds wonderful. I would assume it needs refrigeration

  Yes, you need to store them in the fridge in an air tight container for no more than a week.

The name of the recipe intrigued me as I just can’t fathom unsweetened marshmallows. On reading the ingredients I see honey being used as the sweetener. Phew. I might actually give this a go. But I might call it naturally sweetened marshmallows. If I say sugar free marshmallows, I know my family will not even try it.
