Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the warm water, Swerve sweetener and cream of tartar into a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Whisk until the ingredients are combined and dissolved.
  • Continue to cook the sweetened mixture until it comes to a boil.
  • While the sweetened mixture is cooking, add the cold water to a mixing bowl, and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin on top. Do not mix it at this point, just let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • When the mixture on the stove comes to a boil, continue to boil it for 2-3 minutes, but no less than 2, whisking often.
  • Remove the mixture from the heat once it has boiled, and whisk in the vanilla extract.
  • Start blending the gelatin mixture on high, and immediately pour the heated mixture into the mixing bowl with it.
  • Continue to beat the mixture on high for roughly 12-15 minutes, or until it has become fluffy and has peaks that hold their shape well on their own.
  • Immediately transfer the mixture into a parchment lined 9x9 baking dish, and smooth it into an even layer.
  • Allow the mixture to sit untouched on the counter at room temperature overnight. Do not disturb it, and do not refrigerate it.
  • Cut the finished marshmallows into pieces, and serve any way that you would like.

Notes

Using only Swerve may result in the erythritol crystallizing if chilled. You could use ½ cup of Swerve along with ½ cup of a non-erythritol sweetener like Bochasweet.
These homemade marshmallows have a lower melting point that regular ones. But they can be easily toasted using a kitchen torch or quick dip in a campfire.
Marshmallows can be coated in powdered sweetener to make them less sticky. 
Store them in a covered container or zipper bag. They should keep for a 2-3 weeks at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be placed in the freezer for at least 3 months or the refrigerator for 2-3 months.
