Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 I pulled this off of vegsource.com the other day, so I haven't tried it yet. If you try it, let me know how it goes. Cassandra Andi's Vegan Marshmallows provided by Gail Davis 2 1/2 T. vegetable gelatin (You can use Kojel unflavored gel available at: www.pangeaveg.com) 1 1/2 C. sugar 1 C. light corn syrup 1/2 C. cold water 1/2 C. water at room temperature 1/4 t. salt 2 T. vanilla extract (or flavoring of your choice) Cornstarch for dusting 1. Combine Gel and 1/2 C. COLD water in the bowl of a mixer with a whisk attachment. Let stand for 1/2 hour. 2. Mix the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 C. water in a saucepan. Stir it over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and a syrup has formed. 3. Cook it until firmball stage (244 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer.) Remove pan from heat, and slowly and carefully pour the syrup into the gelatin/water mixture in your mixer. Beat the mixture at high speed until thick, white, and tripled in size, approximately 15 minutes. (If you stop before this time, you will have marshmallow creme which you can store in a jar and use like the commercial stuff.) Add the vanilla and beat just long enough to incorporate it. 4. Dust an 8 " x 12 " glass baking pan with cornstarch. Pour mixture into pan, and dust the top with more cornstarch. Wet your hands and pat the mixture to smooth out the top. Dust again. 5. Let stand overnight to dry out, uncovered. Next morning turn the " marshmallow cake " out onto a board, and cut in into small pieces with a dry, HOT knife. Dust again. Makes about 45 marshmallows. > Is there any way to make vegan marshmallows? Pectin?

If that is *not* the case, can somebody tell me what it *is*? I have never seen it available here, but if I know that it is agar (or whatever), I may be able to find a substitute. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Hi, Brandel, Regular gelatin is animal based, and has cow's hooves or something in it. Emes is gelatin but is plant based. Egar Egar is a different thickener altogether, but also plant based. You will get a different result if you use one in place of the other. I use both for different things. I use the agar for the cheese recipe I sent in and it makes a nice slicing cheese to use with crackers or sandwiches etc. Sure wish I could ship these products to you but am sure that it wouldn't be allowed, particularly with the things that are going on in our world today.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi All My colleagues at work eat all day - and are always sharing food. About half of them are veggie, and two of those would-be vegan. Today one of the non-veggie people bought in packs of cakes - chocolate covered marshmallow on biscuit, which are not veggie. Does anyone know if there is anything similar that is vegan? Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
