Have you been longing for a marshmallow that is compliant with Medical Medium® information? Well, I finally did it…after a couple of tries, I have come up with a fat-free vegan marshmallow recipe that even my children love.
I grew up loving s’mores, and I have really been wanting my children to have the quintessential summer experience of s’mores at a cookout. The creation of this fat-free vegan marshmallow recipe has made that dream a reality.
This weekend I surprised my family with a pre-summer cookout. The weather was absolutely divine, and it was perfect to eat outside for the first time this season. I decided to have them try my new curried potato burger and gluten-free bun recipe…and for dessert, we had s’mores! See my graham cracker recipe to pair with these fat-free vegan marshmallows for the ultimate Medical Medium® compliant s’mores experience.
While these marshmallows are not the most healing food, they certainly won’t feed any pathogens or harm the body in any way. You can feel guilt-free about this indulgent dessert.
Fat-Free Vegan Marshmallows
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup organic powdered sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tsp agar-agar powder (not flakes)
- 2 cups organic granulated coconut sugar (can also use organic cane sugar)
- 4 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- Dust half of the powdered sugar onto the parchment paper.
- In a bowl, add the agar agar powder with about ½ cup water.
- Gently whisk using a hand whisk, or for this recipe, a standing mixer is really helpful because you have to whisk for a while.
- Once the agar agar powder has mixed into the water well, you can put this aside.
- In a large saucepan, add the coconut sugar OR the granulated cane sugar and water and bring to a boil. Do not stir. I used a candy thermometer to bring it to approximately 240 F. It takes some time for the temperature to reach this level.
- Immediately remove from heat, and using a rubber spatula, pour this mixture into the bowl of the standing mixer. If you do not have a standing mixer, hand whisk in a bowl for about 10 - 15 minutes. Doing it by hand, it took a whole 15 minutes for the mixture to thicken.
- Add in the vanilla extract.
- Transfer to the pan and let it sit for about 12 hours or overnight.
- Once the tops are completely dry, transfer to the fridge for about an hour.
- Then score into even cubes. These are ready to go into your s’mores if you are using them in that recipe. If you are making s’mores, these can be made ahead of time and even frozen.

Any recommendations if we don’t have a candy thermometer- approx how long should we leave it on the stove please?
hi Cat! if no candy thermometer, leave on the stove for about 10-15 minutes. let me know how it turns out!!! I hope you love it! – Muneeza
Thanks! How Long do you mix it in the standing mixer?
hi Kelly! Mix in the standing mixer for about 20 minutes! Let us know how it goes!
Hello. The recipe calls for 1/3 c of organic powdered sugar- and to use half to dust the parchment. My question is: is the other half used to dust the tops? And if so do you dust it in while warm or after they’ve been in the fridge? Thx
Hi Dawn, so glad you’re bringing this recipe into your kitchen! Yes, use the other half of the powdered sugar to dust the tops of the marshmallows AFTER they’ve been chilled and before you cut them into sections!
I think there might be an error in the recipe as the ingredients called are not being used in the recipe itself. The instructions are making maple butter it seems. No coconut sugar and agar agar were used in the instructions .
Nicole – we fixed it! Thanks for pointing it out. It’s not maple butter, it is the closest thing to a marshmallow!
Maple syrup is listed in the directions, but not in the list of ingredients.
Stacie, thanks we fixed this.
