Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 cups powdered erythritol ( or favorite powdered sugar substitute)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Place 1/2 c of the warm water into a large bowl. This needs to be large enough as you'll be mixing the marshmallows in this bowl. Otherwise, you'll have a mess!
Sprinkle the gelatin on top of the warm water and whisk until incorporated, set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, place remaining 1/2 c of water, powdered sugar substitute and salt over medium low heat. Whisk the ingredients until it becomes translucent. Remove from the heat as soon as you see bubbles begin to form.
Pour the warm mixture into your large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk for 15-20 minutes until the color changes from light brown to white, you have a little air in the mixture and forms stiff peaks.
Place parchment paper in a 8x8 baking dish.. Dust with powdered sweetener to help prevent sticking.
Pour marshmallow mixture into prepared baking dish and refrigerate overnight. The dough should become firm and not sticky on the top.
Remove from the pan using the parchment paper. Coat your sharp knife in a bit of powdered sweetener and cut into your marshmallows, making 16 squares. If the dough seems a little sticky, you can dust the marshmallows in a little more erythritol to prevent sticking when storing. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Please note that there are 216 grams of sugar alcohol in the entire recipe and should be subtracted to get your net carbs. If you split the recipe into 16 marshmallows per the recipe 13.5g of sugar alcohol should be subtracted off the nutrition label per serving.

Chris says How long will these last in the air-tight container? We are going camping and was wondering how long they might last…Thank you!

Depending on the outside temperate IMO. I’ve left these on the counter for days in the winter.. it the summer they definitely get a little ‘moist’ but a little campfire might solve that problem entirely! Lol

Have you tried making marshmallows with powdered monk fruit? It’s my favorite all-natural, zero carb sweetener!

Since this post we’ve also made the transition and prefer monkfruit ourselves too. I haven’t tested this recipe out yet with it though so can’t say for certain but would be surprised if it didn’t work out.

Can these be roasted like regular marshmallows?
Reply
- Lindsay says
We were able to ‘crisp’ them up over our stove top. Didn’t have the chance to test and roast over a fire though.. which they definitely get soft and gooey quick so I can see a marshmallow being dropped into the fire pit quicker than a traditional marshmallow would. LOL

Can you use this for rice krispy treats, or is it not sticky enough for it?
Reply
- Lindsay says
Mmmmmm I’m not sure! I haven’t tried it but I actually think it would work based on the texture of it once it hardened. So melting it back down.. yeah I think it could work.

It depends what Keto WOE you’d like to follow. There is strict keto, lazy keto, dirty keto lol in our community it really boils down what works for YOU. We all follow things a bit differently and we are a judge free zone here. So if thats how you do things and it works for you, fantastic! This is why we provide the nutrition info to the best of our ability and you can make a decision how you’d like to calculate yourself.
