Healthy Homemade Marshmallows
Healthy homemade marshmallows are a breeze to make, and they are soft, pillowy and delicious! They are the perfect compliment to a warm cup of hot cocoa, and made from natural ingredients.
Equipment
- 1 Stand Mixer with whisk attachment Or an electric hand mixer
- 1 Food scale
- 1 Liquid measuring cup
- 1 Glass Baking Pan
- 1 Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 Cups Water, divided 3/4 Cup + 1/2 cup boiling water
- 30 Grams Grass-fed gelatin
- 8 TB Real maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pour 3/4 Cup filtered water into the bowl of your stand mixer
- Sprinkle 30 grams gelatin over the water, and allow it to bloom for 3-5 minutes
- Prepare 1/2 Cup of boiling water
- Add maple syrup and vanilla to the gelatin mixture
- Make sure you have a whisk attachment. Turn your mixer onto medium-low, and pour the boiling water in as it mixes
- Cover the stand mixer with a towel to prevent splatter, and turn the mixer up to high speed.
- Allow the marshmallows to whip up for 8-10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are thick and creamy, with soft peaks forming. The marshmallows should hold their shape for a few seconds when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
- Transfer the marshmallows to a glass baking dish, using a rubber spatula. Smooth them out so they are nice and even in the pan.
- Refrigerate the marshmallows for at least a few hours. Overnight is best!
- After the marshmallows are set, cut them into squares using a very sharp knife or pizza cutter. Coat them in arrowroot powder or powdered sugar to help with the stickiness.
- Store in an airtight container for about a week, or in the freezer for a few months!
Notes
If you are in a hurry to eat your marshmallows, you can put the marshmallows in the freezer to speed up the setting process.
