Simple Marshmallows








First part -
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water
  • 1 Tablespoon (5 g) of agar agar powder
Second part -
  • 1/4 cup (48 g) of erythritol + stevia, to taste
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) of warm water
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract
  • Dash of salt
                                      • 1Line an 8-by-8-inch pan with parchment paper. Make sure the parchment paper goes up all the sides.
                                      • 2Grease the parchment paper with coconut oil as well to prevent sticking.
                                      • 3In a bowl, add the 1/2 cup of cold water. Sprinkle the agar agar powder in. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
                                      • 4In a small saucepan, add in the 1/2 cup warm water with 1/4 cup of erythritol and a dash of stevia, to taste. Add in the vanilla extract and salt as well. When it just starts to boil, take it off the stove.
                                      • 5Start mixing the agar agar mixture with an electric whisk slowly while adding in the hot liquid.
                                      • 6Keep whisking and increase the whisk speed. The agar agar mixture will turn white and foamy after around 10 minutes.
                                      • 7Keep whisking for 10 minutes more until the mixture doubles in volume. Pour quickly into the prepared container and smooth the top with a greased spatula.
                                      • 8Refrigerate the container overnight to set properly.
                                      • 9Cut the low-carb marshmallow into cubes with a good knife (grease the knife with some melted coconut oil first to prevent the marshmallow from sticking to the knife).
