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 because there is so much that you can do with them besides enjoy eating them as they are.

How to Make Sugar Free Marshmallows

 
This is the recipe that anyone following a sugar free lifestyle should probably know about.

This is because of all the great things that you can do with a marshmallow that you had no idea you could do without the sugar.

 

I am thinking about a Sugar Free Hot Cocoa recipe that I posted a while back.

That recipe tasted really good one winter evening a while back. However,it tasted even better thanks to the marshmallows that went into that sugar free hot cocoa! 🙂

Wondering what else you can do with your sugar free marshmallows?

I have used sugar free marshmallows in the past recipes.
You may remember seeing marshmallows in my Sugar Free Rice Krispie Treats or my Sugar Free S'More recipes.

 

You may have wondered if there are sugar free marshamllows.

This recipe does prove that there is such as thing. These marshmallows work great in most recipes that you would think about using regular marshmallows in.

In a way, it really is about what ingredients are in marshmallows.
Certainly, you would need gelatin to make about any marshmallow.
The big difference between these homemade sugar free marshmallows and regular marshmallow is that these contain no high fructose corn syrup.
 

You may also be wondering how do you make homemade marshmallows.

It is a lot easier than you may imagine. Because we are using unsweetened unflavored gelatin, it is a lot like making your favorite gelatin dessert.
There is heating of ingredients that results in the formation of the marshmallows.

It is important that you use unsweetened unflavored gelatin

Even better, is to use the packet version of the unsweetened unflavored gelatin. This is because they are already measured with the quantity of gelatin that you will need for this recipe.

 

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.

 

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 mixersa seem to have better endurance for a recipe such as this one.

What you will need 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.
  • 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 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. Allow the mixture to double in size- takes about 12-14 minutes in the mixer.
  • Once the mixture has doubled in size, you can transter 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.
