Sugar Free Marshmallows

Prep: 10 minutes
Set Time: 4 hours
Total: 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Gelatin Powder
  • ½ cup Cold Water
  • 1 cup Vanilla Protein Shake

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the gelatin over ½ cup cold water in a large mixing bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes. It’ll thicken up and look a little weird, that’s exactly what we want.
  • Gently heat your vanilla protein shake in a saucepan over low heat. No need to boil. Just get it hot enough to dissolve the gelatin. Think “steamy coffee,” not “lava.”
  • Slowly pour the hot protein shake into the bloomed gelatin while whisking. This part’s key. Go slow and steady so everything blends smoothly.
  • Now crank things up. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes. You’re aiming for a pale, fluffy mixture that’s tripled in volume. It should look like soft whipped cream with an airier bounce.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased or baking paper-lined dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. (Don’t worry if it’s a little sticky, that’s part of the charm.)
  • Let it sit at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. It needs this time to firm up and take shape, so resist the urge to poke it every 10 minutes (we’ve all been there).
  • Once set, slice into squares, take a moment to admire how fluffy they are… then snack away!
