What makes homemade marshmallows so good?

 
Homemade marshmallows are easy to make and are full of incredibly soft, airy, and tasting goodness making them literally dissolve in your mouth.

I like that this recipe for marshmallows can be made without adding sugar.

Did you try my recipe for How to Make Sugar Free Rice Krispie Treats?

That cereal treat is just one way that you can enjoy these marshmallows.
However, these marshmallows are fine just the way they are.

To make this recipe you will need unsweetened unflavored gelatin. You can find a good selection of gelatin here.

What you need to make homemade marshmallows.

• Sugar free powdered sugar- enough for dusting your pan with. You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or buy sugar free powdered sugar online.
• Unsweetened Unflavored Gelatin - You can find gelatin packets online. Be sure to use unsweetened gelatin.
• Water- cold water.
• Sugar alternative- Please use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar for best results. Erythritol sweeteners work well in this recipe.
• Vanilla Extract
• Optional- salt for a flavor balance.

How to Make Marshmallows

1. Prep a non metal baking dish with sugar free powdered sugar (this helps to prevent sticking) and then set this aside. Feel free to use Parchment Paper that is dusted with the powdered sugar alternative.
2. In a large mixing bowl (that you will be using with a mixer later on), combine together the gelatin packets and ½ cup of the cold water. Allow this to sit (bloom) while you continue to work.
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan set on medium heat, combine together your sugar alternative, optional salt  and the remaining water. Stirring as you go, allow this to just about bubble( 8-10 minutes). Remove this from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Now, start your mixer on slow (whisk attachment works best for me) using the large mixing bowl that you had set aside. Gradually pour the contents from the saucepan along the inside of the mixing bowl. Turn the mixer speed up to medium. Allow the mixture to double in size and turns white- takes about 12-14 minutes in the mixer.
5. Once the mixture has doubled in size, you can transfer it to the prepped pan from the first step. Some folks like to sprinkle additional powdered sugar (alternative) on top of this. Allow it to cool uncovered before cutting into squares.
6. Store your marshmallow covered in the refrigerator (about a month) or frozen longer.

Tips for making the best marshmallows.

I just mentioned that it is preferred that you use unsweetened unflavored gelatin that comes in packets. This is because it is already measured out for you.

Here are some more tips for making Sugar Free Marshmallows

1. This recipe calls for Vanilla Extract. However, you can change things up a bit by using another extract instead. Maple extract, mint extract, or banana extract are good examples of this.
2. White marshmallows are the standard color. But, you could add a few drops of food coloring to make your marshmallow look even prettier!
3. Storing marshmallow is a breeze! Simply wrap them well and refrigerate them. You can easily freeze them in an air tight container. Try an ice cube tray with a lid to keep the marshmallows in individual servings.
4. Since these marshmallows may melt faster than the usual ones, I suggest that you refrigerate or freeze them before using them in certain recipes. Campfire roasting would be one of those recipes.

How to store marshmallows.

Lightly dust your homemade marshmallows with sugar free powdered sugar (to keep the marshmallows from sticking) and then place them into an airtight container. When properly stored, homemade marshmallows should keep for up to three weeks at room temperature or frozen for up to a few months.
