Whip up stiff peaks for a versatile marshmallow creme, ideal as a dessert topping or frosting, or let it set to create fluffy, sliceable marshmallows for snacking, s'mores, and more. Whether you’re crafting indulgently sweet fillings or satisfying your sweet tooth with a healthy twist, these sugar-free goodies are the ultimate crowd-pleasers.
1. Prepare the gelatin mixture by sprinkling 1 tablespoon of powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Allow it to bloom for 5 minutes, or until it fully absorbs the water and thickens.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup of boiling water and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until it dissolves completely.
3. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, slowly beat in 3/4 cup of powdered erythritol. Continue mixing on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture begins to froth.
4. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip the mixture for 8-10 minutes, or until it forms stiff peaks and becomes light and fluffy.
5. To make marshmallows, pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Let it sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until firm. Once set, cut into squares using a sharp knife dusted with powdered erythritol.
6. For marshmallow creme, skip the setting step and use the freshly whipped mixture immediately as a topping or filling.
7. Store the marshmallows or creme in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature.
