Vegan Marshmallows

Vegan Marshmallows: Fluffy, Sweet, and Completely Plant-Based

Marshmallows are a nostalgic treat loved by kids and adults alike—perfect for s’mores, hot cocoa, or simply enjoying on their own. But traditional marshmallows contain gelatin, making them unsuitable for vegans or those avoiding animal products. Enter vegan marshmallows—a plant-based alternative that’s just as light, fluffy, and delicious as the classic version. Whether you’re vegan or just looking for a fun kitchen project, this recipe will show you how to whip up your own batch of these sweet, pillowy treats.

What Makes Marshmallows Vegan?

The key difference in vegan marshmallows is replacing gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen, with a plant-based alternative. Agar-agar, made from seaweed, is the most popular substitute, providing the necessary structure and texture. When combined with sugar, aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas), and a little patience, the result is perfectly soft and bouncy marshmallows.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• ½ cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
• ½ tsp cream of tartar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup light corn syrup or agave syrup
• ½ cup water
• 1 tbsp agar-agar powder (not flakes)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
• ½ cup cornstarch (for dusting)
