My sugar free marshmallows recipe makes for bouncy, soft marshmallows full of vanilla flavor. They melt like a dream and have the perfect texture!

When you’re watching your sugar but want a hot cup of my sugar free hot chocolate, treat yourself and make my zero sugar marshmallows.

I’ve tried every healthy marshmallow brand, and most look and taste like white jello. Mine are pillowy soft with plenty of vanilla flavor, and they won’t turn to mush when you fold them into my rocky road fudge.

Ingredients needed

Gelatin powder. Unflavored gelatin. Use a good quality powder to ensure there are zero clumps throughout.
Allulose. I highly recommend allulose over monk fruit, erythritol, or other sugar alcohols as I’ve found it to be the most reliable and prevent the marshmallows from crystallizing.
Water. Tap water is fine. Half will be mixed with the gelatin, and the other half will be mixed with the allulose to form a mock syrup.
Vanilla extract. Gives a lovely vanilla flavor!
Powdered sugar. Optional, but sift some keto powdered sugar over the top of the set marshmallows!

How to make sugar free marshmallows

Step 1- Prep work. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.

Step 2- Set the gelatin. In a small bowl, add half of the water and gelatin powder. Let it sit for 10 minutes for the gelatin to soak up liquid and become gooey.

Step 3- Boil. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the remaining water and sweetener to a simmer. Stir often until boiling. Let it boil for several minutes before removing from the heat.

Step 4- Whip. Add the gelatin mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. On low speed, mix for 30 seconds. Slowly add the boiling water mixture along with the vanilla. Beat for 10-12 minutes or until stiff peaks form.

Step 5- Chill. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to the pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Once set, cut into pieces and dust with powdered sweetener.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups water divided
1/3 cup gelatin powdered
2/3 cup allulose
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, add half your water and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top. Let it sit for 10 minutes, for the gelatin to soak up some of the liquid and become slightly gooey.
In a small saucepan, bring the remaining water and sweetener to a simmer on medium heat. Stir regularly, until it begins to boil. Let it boil for several minutes, before removing from the heat.
Add the gelatin mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer. On low speed, turn the mixer on and mix for 30 seconds. Slowly add the boiling water/sweetener mixture, along with the vanilla extract, and beat for 10-12 minutes, or until stiff peaks form.
Transfer the marshmallow mixture into the lined pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth it out as much as possible. Refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Once set, use a slightly wet knife to cut pieces. Dust with keto powdered sugar and enjoy.

Notes

If you don’t have a stand mixer, a hand mixer can be used.
