Raspberry Marshmallow

Cookinero 6 May 2025

Raspberry marshmallow is a favorite summer treat. The abundance of berries allows you to cook marshmallow with raspberries very often. To keep the marshmallow in shape, the recipe uses a gelling agent. Gelatin can give an aftertaste, so for a light dessert it is better to use agar-agar from red algae of the Black Sea. Choose Agar-Agar with a gelling effect of at least 1000, otherwise the marshmallow will not harden well. It is a myth that it is very difficult to make delicious and real marshmallow at home. It is only important to follow the recipe.

Raspberry Marshmallow - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute agar-agar with an equal amount of gelatin, but note that gelatin is not vegetarian. Also, gelatin may require different setting times and textures, so follow the package instructions for best results.
Store the marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Avoid humidity, as it can make them sticky. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a month.
Yes, you can use a sugar substitute like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. However, the texture may differ slightly, and you'll need to check if the substitute can be heated similarly to sugar for the syrup.
Use a large round or star piping tip for uniform marshmallows. Hold the bag vertically and apply steady pressure to form even halves. Dust your hands with powdered sugar to handle the mixture if needed.
Yes, you can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for about an hour before serving. Avoid refrigeration after thawing to prevent moisture buildup.
Use agar-agar as the recipe suggests and replace the egg white with aquafaba (chickpea brine). Whip 3 tablespoons of aquafaba until stiff peaks form, then proceed as directed.
They pair well with hot chocolate, as a topping for desserts, or dipped in melted chocolate for an extra treat. They also make lovely edible gifts when packaged beautifully.
Yes, but ensure your mixing bowl is large enough (at least 5-6 liters) to accommodate the increased volume. You may also need to beat the mixture longer to achieve the right fluffiness.
