This Paleo Marshmallow Fluff recipe offers a homemade, all-natural alternative to traditional marshmallow fluff by using honey and maple syrup as sweeteners. Whipped to a light, glossy texture, this fluffy topping is perfect for desserts, snacks, or as a spread, made without refined sugars or artificial ingredients.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Egg Whites

  • 3 egg whites (90g)

Syrup Mixture

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup

Other Ingredients

  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl fitted with an electric mixer whisk attachment, add the egg whites to ensure no grease can inhibit whipping.
  2. Heat Syrup Mixture: In a large pot, combine water, honey, and maple syrup carefully, making sure to avoid the sides of the pot. Heat over medium without stirring until the sugar mixture reaches 225°F (107°C).
  3. Start Whipping Egg Whites: When the syrup hits 225°F, start whipping the egg whites on medium-high speed. When frothy, add cream of tartar and salt, whipping to soft peaks to create a stable base.
  4. Combine Syrup and Egg Whites: Once the syrup reaches 240°F (115°C), remove from heat. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly and carefully pour the hot syrup in a thin, steady stream between the bowl and whisk to prevent splashing.
  5. Whip to Desired Texture: Increase the mixer speed and whip for about 8 minutes until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.
  6. Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and whip for an additional minute to incorporate flavor evenly.

Notes

  • Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of grease to achieve maximum volume when whipping egg whites.
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the syrup for accurate results.
  • Be cautious pouring the hot syrup to avoid burns and splashing.
  • Store the marshmallow fluff in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
  • This fluff is perfect for paleo-friendly desserts, toppings for hot chocolate, or sandwich spreads.
