Vegetarian Marshmallow

Anonymous Fri 29 Apr 2011 18:01:00 No.2773784 View View Reply Original Report

Hey /ck/ Have any of you had success making vegetarian/vegan marshmallows? I've had some success with xantham gum and egg whites. They tasted like marshmallows, but i couldn't get them to firm up enough. It was a nice marshmallow fluff.

This is where I got the recipe that I used. http://pieofthetiger.com/2009/04/homemade-vegetarian-marshmallow-peeps/

Marshmallow general thread?

It's a bitch to find - but proper ground marsh mallow root works

Quoted By:

Try a mixture of xanthan and guar gums, one to one by weight. Minimally hydrate and bring to about eighty C, then add as a thin stream while still whipping egg whites.

Part of the structure of the marshmallow comes from the temperature of the gum. The heat partially denatures the protein in the egg whites, giving a firmer product.

Use marshmallow plant root. That is what is originally used until someone found a cheaper alternative to make $$$.

OP did say vegetarian as well and many vegetarians have no issue with using eggs. The recipe linked is a vegetarian recipe, not a vegan one.

OP, you can grow your own marshmallow plants if you are ambitious enough. Using that plant would be about the best source for a vegan approach.

I'm not, but 3/4 of my friends are vegetarians, including the ones who like marshmallows. They're good people, but it's damned inconvenient I tell you what.

What are normal marshmallows made out of that makes them not vegetarian? I figured they were just sugar and whatever else goes into candy.

If you're bothered by the trivial amount of dead animal in marshmallows, you're an enormous faggot. Even moreso than most vegetarians.

So use kosher gelatin or agar.

But seriously fuck you OP. If you can't deal with never eating your favorite non-vegetarian foods and have to ask for a pussified version of those foods.

Gelatin which is ultimately made of animal bones.

Use Agar and Corn starch if you have to. Also, you could try Cream of Tartar.

Mainly animal skin.

OP I would recommend just not eating marshmellows and give up. Making your own is just such a bore.
