Banana Marshmallow

Cookinero 29 Sep 2025

Banana marshmallows are prepared at home according to a recipe using agar-agar. The airy delicacy turns out to be very tender and incredibly tasty. Banana marshmallows are prepared from ripe fruits of an exotic plant. It is easy to make puree from them. Also, ripe bananas will give a rich aroma to the marshmallow, which will be impossible to resist. Sugar in the recipe can be replaced with fructose or stevia. Choose agar-agar with a gelling effect of at least 1000, otherwise the marshmallow will not harden well.

Banana Marshmallow - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute agar-agar with an equal amount of powdered gelatin. However, note that gelatin is an animal product, so this substitution would make the recipe non-vegan. The setting time and texture might also be slightly different.
Store your marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh and maintain their texture for about 1-2 weeks. Keep them away from moisture and humidity to prevent them from becoming sticky.
As written, this recipe is not vegan because it uses egg white. To make a vegan version, you could try substituting the egg white with an aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). Use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba and whip it to stiff peaks before adding the banana puree.
Yes, the full 24-hour setting time is crucial for this recipe. It allows the agar-agar to fully set and the marshmallows to develop their stable, chewy texture. Rushing this step may result in marshmallows that are too soft or sticky.
Crystallization often occurs if sugar sticks to the sides of the pan. To prevent this, gently stir the syrup without splashing it up the sides, or use a wet pastry brush to wash down any sugar crystals that form on the pan during cooking.
It's not recommended to freeze them. Freezing can cause the marshmallows to become overly hard and can degrade their fluffy texture upon thawing due to the moisture content. For best quality, store them at room temperature.
