Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
aquafaba (unsalted brine from a can of chickpeas)
-
1 cup
tapioca syrup (may sub with corn syrup)
-
2 tablespoons
agar agar powder (vegan gelatin substitute)
-
6 tablespoons
water
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt
-
1 teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
-
tapioca/arrowroot flour for dusting
Directions
-
First, line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and then spray with coconut oil and generously dust with tapioca/arrowroot flour. Set aside.
-
In your stand mixer, beat the aquafaba on high for about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can do this with a hand mixer.
-
Add the tapioca syrup to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
While waiting for it to boil, dissolve the agar agar in the 6 tablespoons of water and then add it to the saucepan.
-
Whisk the syrup continuously until it reaches a rolling boil, then add the salt and vanilla to the saucepan. Whisk to combine then remove from heat.
-
Turn your mixer down to low, and slowly pour the syrup mixture into the aquafaba to create a marshmallow fluff.
-
Quickly pour the fluff into your prepared baking pan, smooth the surface, and let it rest for about 3 hours/overnight. If using as marshmallow fluff, use right away!
-
Once they have set up, dust with tapioca/arrowroot flour and turn it out on a tapioca starch dusted surface and slice into squares (or desired shape).
-
Store in an airtight container, best when consumed the same day, 2 days max.
