Sugar Free Marshmallow Fluff Food

SUGAR FREE MARSHMALLOW FLUFF

Steps:

• Start by prepping a pan or container with a bit of coconut oil and/or parchment paper to make removal of the fluff a bit easier. If you are intending to store this in a microwave safe glass or similar container, with the intent of heating up when you intend to enjoy this, you may be able to get away with simply spraying with a nonstick.
• We are going to dissolve the sugar alternative in hot water. Boil the 1 1/2 cups of water in a saucepan. Turn the heat down to a low to medium heat, and whisk in the sugar alternative. You will need to whisk this as needed. It will take a few minutes for the sugar alternative to dissolve completely and keep in mind that when it does it will not resemble dissolved or crystallized sugar. While your saucepan is heating up, you can dissolve the powdered gelatin in the cold water. I suggest placing these ingredients into the mixing bowl and allowing them to sit for while you work.
• When the sugar alternative on the stove has completely dissolved you can remove it from the stove. Give the gelatin in the mixing bowl a quick whisking to ensure that the gelatin has broken up. Then add the sugar alternative to the mixing bowl along with the salt and the vanilla extract. Beat this until it is somewhat fluffy (fluffiness can depend on the sugar alternative that you have used). Transfer to your storage container from the first step. Store this in the refrigerator.

SUGAR-FREE MARSHMALLOWS RECIPE (KETO MARSHMALLOWS)

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 in (20x20 cm) pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Pour 1/2 cup (118 mL) warm water into a large bowl (it will barely cover the bottom of the bowl). Sprinkle gelatin over the water and whisk immediately. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, add remaining 1/2 cup (118 mL) water, powdered sweetener, and sea salt to a large saucepan. Heat over low to medium heat for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot, but not boiling, and sweetener dissolves. (The color will change from opaque to slightly translucent, and remove immediately as soon as you see bubbles starting to form at the edges.)
• Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour the hot liquid into the large bowl with gelatin, while whisking constantly.
• Using a hand mixer on high power, beat the mixture for about 12-15 minutes, until the volume doubles and the mixture looks very fluffy, like stiff egg white peaks. (The time could take longer depending on the size of your bowl and how powerful your mixer is.)
• Transfer the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan.
• Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until firm and no longer sticky. Use a sharp chef's knife to cut into squares.

SUGAR-FREE MARSHMALLOWS & MARSHMALLOW CREME

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a mixing bowl.
• Set aside for 5 minutes to soften.
• Add to boiling water in saucepan; cook and stir until gelatin is dissolved.
• Remove from heat.
• Cool to consistency of thick syrup.
• Stir in Splenda® and vanilla (and marshmallow flavored oil if using.).
• Beat egg whites till soft peaks begin to form.
• Very slowly, trickle a small stream of gelatin mixture into egg white, beating until all gelatin is mixed in.
• Continue beating until light and fluffy (but not until they're dry.) If you're making marshmallow crème, pour into a jar (jelly jar, peanut butter jar, etc.) and refrigerate.
• If making marshmallows, continue-- For Mini marshmallows-- Pour into greased and floured pan, cool to set, and cut into size desired.
• For larger marshmallows, or marshmallow"eggs"-- Fill large square pan with a mixture of 2 parts vanilla protein powder to 1 part dried milk powder (the new Keto milk powder works well here.) The pan should be about two inches filled.
• Take a dry raw egg and make indentations in the powdery bottom with the fuller base of the egg for making marshmallows, or with the oval side of the egg for making marshmallow"eggs" Then pour the marshmallow creme filling into the little"moulds", sprinkle a dusting of the powder mixture over tops of marshmallows, and allow to set If you make the"eggs" and want to cover them with chocolate, melt the dark chocolate low-carb bars in the microwave till very soft and almost liquid (you can use the Carbolite, the DeLite bars, etc.) Dip each formed marshmallow egg into the chocolate quickly to coat and place flat side down onto waxed paper to set.
• The mini ones are perfect to sprinkle over puddings or berries and divine over pumpkin pie or mock sweet potato casserole!
• Or use the marshmallow crème wherever your creative mind takes you!
• 5 carbs in entire recipe for marshmallow crème.
• Adjust as needed when making formed"eggs", etc.
