AHHH! I’ve been a vegetarian for years but somehow just recently discovered that marshmallows are NOT vegetarian! They are like my favorite food, on top of soy hot cocoa. I miss them!!! Maybe I’ll try this recipe someday. For now, I’m just bummed : (

I tried a mixture of a couple of recipes and it basically worked. i have the recipe is anyone wants but what i basicly did was to use a normal marshmallow recipe but substitute the gelatine for vegetarian jelly powder bought from holland and barrets. i used half a pack, dissolved in a tablespoon of boiling water, and they turned out a bit mushy but they did keep some shape. if i was to do it again i would add the entire packet of gelatine so they were more firm.

Thank Goodness… I found a gelatin-free marshmallow recipe!!! I can hardly believe this! I thought I would never be able to have marshmallows in this life! Can you email me the recipe, with exact measurements? thanks.

For hot chocolate, you can always make marshmallow fluff and just dollop it on top. I’m not sure if you can buy the actual commercial Marshmallow Fluff in the UK, but we realized at some point that it didn’t have gelatin in it, and bought a case to make s’mores with! You could make it pretty easily, though…I think it’s pretty much just a Swiss meringue. I have a good recipe for that somewhere on my blog.

I haven’t tried coloring them yet, other than painting eyes on the chicks. It probably would work just fine. I’m a wee bit afraid of doing it myself, due to a disastrous attempt at coloring meringue for a cake years ago, but I was using an all natural food coloring and that was the reason it went so badly. Regular food coloring should be fine.

The sugar crystals are pretty sharp. I think they might grind through the plastic wrap…but I’ve never tried it, so who knows! It might work pretty well.

I have been looking for a good veggie or vegan marshmallow recipe to use as part of a birthday treat. My friend has turned 18 and I would usually bake a cake, but I know she loves flapjacks (English sweet oat cake rather than American pancake. I was going to make the flapjack but wanted to make it more special so was going to make marshmallow, put it on top and cover with melted tolberone, which she also loves. the only recipes i’d found were very difficult and confusing. It did look good though. I have been a little off topic but the website is http://veganmarshmallows.blogspot.com/
Hope it helps (probly won’t as you wanted easy :])

Hey,

Nice recipe. I’m veggie and miss marshmallows (especially in hot-chocolate and in cookies), so I’ll try and source some of the geletin replacements. It never seems that easy in the UK for some reason.

I wondered if you’ve tried colouring them? I fancy trying to do some more decorative ones – maybe pink and white. I wasn’t sure if adding food colouring drops would be a problem?
