Healthy Homemade Marshmallow Stars
These healthy homemade marshmallow stars drizzled with chocolate are gluten free and refined sugar free for the perfect celebration dessert!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup agave
- 5 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips Lily's
- sprinkles gluten free if necessary
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x12 inch baking sheet with non-stick spray and parchment paper for easy removal. Be sure the parchment goes all sides (so it's just slightly bigger than the sheet). Dust the parchment paper with tapioca starch and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand alone mixer with a whisk attachment OR in a large glass mixing bowl if you using a handheld mixer, place the gelatin and water. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the agave into a sauce pan and turn on high heat. Stir until the agave is at a rapid boil or using a candy thermometer it reaches 240 F. Remove from heat and pour the hot agave into the bowl with the gelatin mixture. Beat on high until fluffy and glossy. The mixture should form stiff peaks. Add in the vanilla and mix until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking sheet, spread using a rubber spatula and let sit at room temperature for 8+ hours. I let mine sit overnight.
- Once they have set up overnight, dust with tapioca starch and turn it out on a tapioca starch dusted surface. Toss your star cookie cutters in starch and cut out shapes. If you prefer, you can just use a knife and cut out squares. *For remaining marshmallow after cutting out shapes, place in an airtight container to snack on later
- Melt chocolate and place in piping bag. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the starts and finish with sprinkles if desired. Let the chocolate set at room temperature.
