Healthy marshmallows with raspberry

Serving up these airy marshmallows is a joy in itself. They’re fantastic when paired with a steaming cup of herbal tea or hot cocoa — the marshmallows melt just enough to add a creamy layer to your drink. If you’re planning an elegant dessert spread, these little cubes of fluffiness make a wonderful accompaniment to a fruit platter. Imagine the delightful combination of fresh berries, tangy apple slices, and delicate marshmallows all in one bite. Fancy a healthier s’more alternative? Substitute these marshmallows for the usual sugary variety and enjoy a less guilty pleasure.

But don't just stop there — think beyond traditional settings! How about a marshmallow fondue? Melt some dark chocolate and dip your homemade marshmallows in for an indulgent yet balanced treat. Or scatter them over your morning oatmeal for a fun burst of sweetness. For an added touch, you might even drizzle a bit of honey or sprinkle chopped nuts over them. Whether you’re throwing a kid’s birthday party or enjoying a quiet evening treat, these marshmallows can be creatively served in so many delightful ways. Bon Appétit!

Need to accommodate dietary preferences? No problem! For a gluten-free variation, you're already in luck as this recipe is naturally free of gluten. Making it vegan, however, involves a few substitutions. Replace the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas), which whips up to a similar texture. As for gelatin, opt for agar-agar powder. Keep in mind that the proportions might vary slightly, so some trial and error could be necessary to get the perfect consistency. These adjustments ensure everyone can enjoy your airy, homemade marshmallows, regardless of their dietary restrictions.
