Delicious Vegan Marshmallow Recipe
Introduction
Marshmallows are a classic treat that everyone enjoys. Unfortunately, they are not vegan-friendly, as they contain gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen. However, with this vegan marshmallow recipe, you can enjoy this delicious treat without compromising your values.Ingredients
To make vegan marshmallows, you will need the following ingredients:- 1 cup of aquafaba (chickpea water)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make vegan marshmallows:- Line a baking dish with parchment paper and grease it with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the aquafaba and cream of tartar until it forms stiff peaks.
- In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to cook until the mixture reaches a temperature of 240°F on a candy thermometer.
- Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the bowl with the aquafaba while whisking constantly. Be careful not to pour it all in one spot, as it may deflate the aquafaba.
- Add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Allow it to cool for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and powdered sugar.
- Dust a cutting board with the cornstarch and powdered sugar mixture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the marshmallow mixture into squares or use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes.
- Dust each side of the marshmallows with the cornstarch and powdered sugar mixture to prevent sticking.
