Homemade Easy Keto Marshmallows
These Easy Keto Marshmallows are light, airy, and sweetened with a keto-friendly sweetener, making them a perfect guilt-free treat. Each bite offers a delightful texture that is both chewy and fluffy, providing a satisfying experience without the carbs.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water, divided
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered erythritol for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of cold water with the gelatin. Let it sit to bloom for about 5-10 minutes.
- Cook the Sweetener: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water, sweetener, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sweetener is dissolved.
- Combine: Once the mixture reaches a soft ball stage (about 240°F), remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Whip: Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip on high speed for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture is thick, fluffy, and resembles whipped cream.
- Set: Pour the mixture into a lined square dish and spread it evenly. Let it sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours or until set.
- Cut and Dust: Once set, dust the top with powdered erythritol, cut into squares, and dust the sides as well to prevent sticking.
