Makes: 20 MARSHMALLOWS

Prep Time: 15 MINUTES (plus chilling)

Cooking Time: 10 MINUTES

 

ingredients

5 ½ teaspoons powdered gelatin

4 free-range egg whites, at room temperature

½ cup (120 ml) water

1 2/3 cups (265 g) Sola sweetener

Seeds of 1 vanilla bean/pod

1 very small pinch of salt

 

directions

1. Line a 7 x 7 square baking dish with parchment paper. Sprinkle the gelatin over ½-cup of water, whisk with a fork and let sit for 5 minutes to bloom (an important step for a lump-free dessert).

2. Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or use an electric hand mixer) and whisk until stiff peaks are formed.

3. Place the bloomed gelatin and water mixture in a large saucepan and bring to a boil, add the salt and seeds from the vanilla bean, and whisk in the Sola sweetener. Continue to cook the mixture for approximately 10 minutes, until it becomes syrupy. Use a digital thermometer to check the temperature. Remove from the heat when it reaches 245F/118C.

4. With your mixer on full speed, slowly pour the syrup onto the egg whites and beat on full speed for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. For pink colored marshmallows, add a few drops of natural red food coloring while the mixture is blending.

5. Pour the mixture into the baking dish in a smooth, even layer, and place into the fridge to chill and set for at least 2 hours.

6. When the marshmallows are set, remove the mixture from the fridge and cut into 20 squares. Store in the refrigerator until needed.

Flavor Variations

Banana Marshmallows: Omit the vanilla bean seeds and add 1 teaspoon natural banana extract and a few drops natural yellow coloring.

Chocolate Marshmallows: Add 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder with the vanilla bean and Sola sweetener.
