Homemade Marshmallow Fluff is the perfect frosting for cakes, pies, ice cream, or as an addition to candies. As a matter of fact, it is a luscious sweet treat that can be eaten by itself or on gluten-free toast. Needless to say, this recipe is refined sugar-free. Marshmallow Fluff on the beater

I can’t believe that the holidays are fast approaching. Therefore, I have been trying to recreate foods, treats, and even candies. Did I mention I have been in my kitchen experimenting trying this and trying that? Honestly, I have learned so much this past year in cooking without grains, and refined sugar, and limiting my dairy. My experiments so far have been quite successful. Needless to say, I have managed to make a very thin Norsk Crumb Cookie (Krumkaka), homemade candy holiday fudge that uses this recipe of homemade marshmallow fluff.

Truthfully, I tried desperately last year to make marshmallow fluff and failed miserably. In all honesty, I have learned so much about monk fruit sweetener and maple sugar. Turning monk fruit sweetener into powdered monk fruit sweetener is the trick to this recipe. Not to mention, marshmallow root is a natural remedy for stomach issues. Vintage recipes of marshmallows included marshmallow root. I decided to create a refined sugar-free recipe using marshmallow and collagen.

History and Notes About Marshmallow Fluff

As a homeschool mom, and someone who absolutely adores history, I did some research into the history of the marshmallow root. According to several articles, marshmallow root has been used for centuries and was used back in ancient Egyptian times over 2000 years ago inside delicacies and candied treats for the Gods or nobility and of course the pharaohs, as well as being used medically. Marshmallow root grows in marshes hence its name. Notably, even the ancient Romans and  Greeks used marshmallow root. Apparently, Hippocrates mentioned it as medical treatment. Furthermore, marshmallow is a sticky substance removed from the root of the plant. In any case, the French were the first to create a marshmallow treat. Alex Doumak patented and invented created marshmallows with molds in 1921 in the USA.

Additional Information:

Above all, Use in fudge and pies. In any case, I can’t wait to see what other ways I can use it.

Nonetheless, marshmallow fluff is not as white as the commercial stuff you can find on the shelf. However, Marshmallow root, collagen, and PB 8 can be found at health food stores.

This recipe has two Nutritional Facts below the pictures. The first Nutritional Facts are based on cups the second is based on Tablespoon servings.

Powdered Marshmallow Root, Collagen, PB8 Probiotics, and Monk Fruit Sweetener can all be found on Amazon. Read my blog post on Monk Fruit Sweetener Information.
