How to Make Sugar Free Marshmallows

How to Make Sugar Free Marshmallows is a question that I get asked a lot.

I must say that I am thrilled that there is even a way to make marshmallows.
This is partly because that there is so much that you can do with marshmallows besides eating them as they are.

Sugar free marshmallows are taste both 'sweet' and lush.

Adding these marshmallows to hot chocolate or a favorite recipe, makes these sugar free marshmallows a favorite recipe idea!

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.

This recipe is for anyone asking are sugar free marshmallows a thing.

I must say, when it comes to sugar free alternatives, we have come a long way in recent years.
This is because of new products that have popped up that seem to get easier to use.

Thanks to all of the newer products, we can make a sugar free marshmallow like this one.

These marshmallows are a lot like their sugared counterparts when it comes to taste and uses.
However, keep in mind that since these marshmallows are not made with sugar, they may not react exactly the same when it comes to using them in recipes.

You may be wondering what are sugar free marshmallows made of.

Obviously, these marshmallows are not made with sugar.
Instead, they are make with sugar alternatives. These marshmallows taste sweet, fluffy, and are also gooey just as you would expect.

The sugar alternative gives these marshmallows the sweet flavor that you would expect from a marshmallow.

To get the shape and structure of a marshmallow, we are using gelatin.
Make sure that you choose a gelatin that has no added sugar and no added flavor for best results.
 

Here are some tips for making homemade 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.

This is one of those recipes that works best when using a stand mixer.

I say this because there is a lot of mixing that has to go on and it can get tough on a mixer. Stand mixers seem to have better endurance for a recipe such as this one.

Ingredients needed to make this Sugar Free Marshmallows recipe.

• 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 - 2 packets. It is easiest to use packets rather than measuring your own. You can find gelatin packets online. Each packet is about 2 tablespoons. Be sure to use unsweetened gelatin.
• Water- ½ cup cold water.
• Sugar alternative- Equivalent to 2 cups of sugar. Please use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar for best results. Erythritol sweeteners work well in this recipe.
• Water- ½ cup additional.
• Vanilla Extract- 3 teaspoons.
• Optional- salt ½ teaspoon.

How to make How to Make Sugar Free Marshmallows

• Prep a non metal baking dish with sugar free powdered sugar (this helps to prevent sitcking) and then set this aside. Feel free to use Parchment Paper that is dusted with the powdered sugar alternative.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Store your marshmallow covered in the refrigerator (about a month) or frozen longer.
