Nothing compares to marshmallow fluff!

 

IMAG3125

Marshmallow fluff is a treat that surpasses most others. With this recipe it’s healthy and nutrient dense. Three simple ingredients and 14 minutes of your time will change your world.

IMAG3121

 

Using local honey, Great Lakes Gelatin (the one in the red can (please note the green container is highly processed more than a damaged gut can handle. The green package is collagen hydrolysate, is designed to dissolve in cold water, does not gel and is not approved for those with deep microbiome damage). To purchase gelatin click here.

Place 3 Tablespoons of gelatin with 1/2 cup filtered water in a mixer. Mix on med/low setting to stir. Be sure to scrape sides.

 

 

IMAG3110 (1)

While the gelatin and water are mixing put another 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup local honey into a medium saucepan, heat until roughly 240 degrees. When honey is heated it loses valuable nutritional enzymes. This recipe works just fine if the honey and water is just warmed. If it is heated to the full 240 the marshmallow fluff is perfect every single time, fluffy and airy. If it’s not heated the fluff is hit or miss, sometimes isn’t fluffy but is still good. The choice is yours.

IMAG3112

The gelatin and water will first look like this in the mixer. Be sure to scrape the powder down into the mix or it will turn into a glue-like gummy structure along the side wall.

IMAG3111

Check your gelatin and water mix. Be careful that it is all mixed thoroughly and that there are no gelatin globule, but it is all mixed into granuals. If there is a globule pillow stuck to the side of the bowl be sure to break it up with a spoon. It should look like this:

 

 

Add the hot honey water to the gelatin water slowly with a slow steady stream while the mixer is still mixing. The product is hot so adding it slowly will help keep a marshmallow fluff consistency.

IMAG3115

 

Once the honey water is all added to the water and gelatin mixture turn the mixer to high and continue to mix for ten minutes. If you over mix you will have firm marshmallows that harden rather quickly. If you under mix the product will be more like a thin pudding consistency. This is undermixed:

Store marshmallow fluff in jars or zip top bags for camping.

      I have frozen it thinking it would be great ice cream. was good but not as fantastic as i hoped as ice cream or frozen treat. it didn’t really act like a frozen item, just stayed like marshmallow fluff. can’t answer the fridge question, it never lasts long here

        Just curious but what do you do with it?? I made cupcakes and put it in between but still have a liter jar leftover, and it’s not nice and ‘egg-white peaky’ anymore but more like a stiff scum?? If that makes sense.. Ideas for use?

          this is tough because what you have is not really fitting. the recipe has two options: marshmallow fluff or marshmallows.

            It was fluff, but turned to “marshmallow” after it stood for a while! Ah well, have to eat it out of the jar I guess 🙂

    Isn’t it dangerous to heat honey? Would this work with date honey? We have date honey easily available in Israel.

    Did you use the beef or porcine gelatin to make your fluff? Your other article says beef is better for the gut but then you mention that porcine fluffs better. Will beef still fluff nicely?

    How can this be altered to make marshmallows?

    Thanks

      i use beef. to make marshmallows mix the marshmallow fluff a little longer (not much) then pour out into a pan lined with parchment and let dry for a few hours. cut into sqaures and roll each square in either powdered sugar, arrow root powder, cinnamon or cocoa powder to create a dusting layer on top. that will keep them from sticking to each other. store i a zip top bag.

    Do you think I could use Golden Syrup instead of honey (son cannot have honey b/c of the salicylate content).

    • Becky Plotner
      April 14, 2014
      Reply

      from what i understand golden syrup is really refined which is not good. if it’s sourced from sugar beets, which a lot of it is, it’s gmo and really taking you backwards. if he can not do local honey i would do GAPS until the gut is healed enough to handle the local honey.

    Apparently your links on this page have disappeared. The photos do not show up. I made this for the first time today and I think I ended up over mixing it. It was pretty difficult to stuff into the jar and the ziptop bags.

      yes thank you lynn. the host site has been experiencing crashes. i’ve had a computer expert fixing the problem for two days now with the source of malfunction surfacing around the apps – specifically the recipe card app. we are still trying to fix the problem as it keeps faltering. keep me updated on how it looks from your end. we have tested several times where it shows all is well only to find it’s still not working for others.
      as far as the marshmallow fluff goes: overmixing results in more formed marshmallow-like consistency, undermixing is too runny. 9-10 minutes is usually just right. putting the fluff into ziplock bags and spreading into bunny heads immediately after mixing is best.

        I can’t keep this at the fluff consistency. I specifically stopped mixing early yesterday and it was still liquid and not even fully fluff, but later turned into marshmallows again. Any suggestions? Also, just feedback from your earlier comment:still not able to see the pictures on the website.

          so sorry about the pictures. there have been problems with the site. massive problems that apparently sources from the recipe card app. it’s been removed which removed a lot of other related pics. so sorry. trying to fix it as fast as i can but my son is in a stage play and i’m running the spotlight – running my fastest, thanks for being so patient.
          i would check a few things: make sure it’s the bovine or pork gelatin from great lakes gelatin. the green can will not give the right result. also it could be the speed of your mixer. a slower mixer will take longer to turn it into fluff. each mixer runs differently. my mixer leaves it runny at 8 minutes but too stiff at 10 so keep an eye on it.

        It’s working now except for the second photo and the recipe card. By the way, should this be stored in the refrigerator if not eaten right away? Mine grew black mold. I didn’t eat it up fast enough I guess. I didn’t care much for the flavor of the honey I used. I can’t wait until I catch up with my favorite local beekeeper and replenish my supply.

      the honey is for the sweetness. I wouldn’t think more gelatin would replace honey. instead try the recipe with less honey.

    Can you explain more about why the collagen (green can by Great Lakes) is problematic for the gut? I have gotten the impression that both the green can and the red can can be helpful. Have you read otherwise?

      from what i understand it has to do with the processing of the green can. great lakes sent me the information through diagramatic charts but i haven’t had the chance to put it into a post yet. this post may help: http://nourishingplot.com/2014/03/27/options-when-gut-healing-gelatin-doesnt-work/

    I am doing a low glycemic diet and honey is not ok, (spikes blood sugar) I saw you mention the honey was just for sweetening, so if I replace the volume with water and a healthy sweetener e.g. stevia would it affect the overall texture, you think?

    • Becky Plotner

      not really sure. we dont do stevia unless it’s in plant form, which would be green – ground leaves. we can not eat processed sweeteners so i do not experiment with them. we use honey because it is highly digestible and has beneficial enzymes that are nutrient dense, feeding your body. curious to know what you find though. keep us updated!

      no idea we can not do maple syrup as it feeds pathogens for us and we can only digest monosaccharides, while local honey is high in beneficial enzymes, antimicrobial and antifungal (store bought is not). i’m curious to see what you find – pls post the results if you can!!!

    Not sure what happened here. I followed the recipe but did not get anything near fluffy marshmallow cream. What I got was flubber. I think it could bounce like a ball. Plus, to get the honey water mixter to the suggested 240 degrees it boiled for a while making the honey taste bitter. I used a candy thermometer to make sure of the temperature. It is what I would call an epic fail.

      Heating the honey to this temperature makes the end product more of a candy, it is not really necessary. I hardly heat my honey at all, just to the point where it thins then I pour it in. It sounds like the honey was too broken. I would try again with much less heat, don’t worry about the number on the thermometer. The food will be healthier, too.
      Practice, practice, practice. You’re close to perfection!

    Denise a lot of honey in the store is not honey but instead high fructose corn syrup. dr natasha campbell-mcbride, author of GAPS, says if you have a challenge with pollen in honey causing an allergy issues the GAPS healing diet will help and enable you to have honey. i’ve never met anyone who has tried the healing of honey with gaps as there’s usually a great deal of fear there – rightfully so! i would love to post a success story (wink, wink)
