Ingredients
100 grams xylitol (sugar sweetener)
4 gelatine sheets
3 tablespoons water
Instructions
-
Prepare the Gelatin: Soak the gelatine sheets in cold water for 5-10 minutes until soft and pliable.
-
Dissolve the Xylitol: In a small saucepan, combine xylitol and 3 tablespoons of water. Heat over low heat, stirring until dissolved.
-
Add the Gelatin: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the softened gelatine sheets until fully dissolved.
-
Whisk the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a large bowl or stand mixer. Cool for a few minutes before whisking at high speed until thick and fluffy, like marshmallow fluff (about 5-10 minutes).
-
Set the Marshmallows: Transfer the mixture to a lined baking dish or mold. Smooth the top and leave to set at room temperature for several hours, or overnight, until firm.
-
Cut and Serve: Remove from the mold, cut into squares, and optionally dust with xylitol powder to prevent sticking. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Refrigerating may affect their chewy texture.
Freezing: These marshmallows freeze well for up to 1 month. Freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag.
Sweetener Substitutes: Erythritol or monk fruit sweeteners can be used instead of xylitol, but check the sweetness levels of your substitute.
Vegan Version: Use agar-agar instead of gelatine to make the marshmallows vegan-friendly.
