The easiest way to make sugar-free, allergy-free, vegan marshmallow fluff with an unexpected ingredient! This multi-purpose condiment & sweet topping recipe will become a staple and have you buying cans of beans just for aquafaba!
Breathe deeply! Your fluffy sweet marshmallow dreams are about to come true! Just when you (at least I did) thought all hope was lost due to all vegan, gluten-free marshmallows having SOY and normal marshmallows having gelatin, there would never be marshmallow anything again.
Just like I think everyone should be able to enjoy bagels, mac & cheese, etc., everyone should be able to enjoy fluffy marshmallow love! EVEN if you aren’t into added sugars! This fluff may be the definition of a pillow, floaty, airy, and nothing but love, sweet love! (I’m so excited!) This fluff can be used for so many things! From rice krispies, pancake topping, any sweet topping, cupcakes, s’mores, and more!
I’m giving The Majestic Beauty even more love this week. This wasn’t even the post I was going to publish today. I was going to post one of my favorite recipe with the vegan marshmallow fluff, but that was stupid of me! I needed to give you the recipe for the fluff first! (Next week I’ll be posting the killer recipe I was planning on posting…don’t you worry!).
If you’ve been reading this blog for more than a week, you know that actual marshmallows have been on my recipe bucket list for the longest time. While this recipe for marshmallow fluff isn’t actual “cubed” marshmallows, it may just be better! It has also made me fall even deeper in love with THE KING BEAN! Yes! We are going to be using the famous aquafaba today! If you haven’t tried this vegan trend yet, you really need to (with this recipe!)
Sugar-Free Vegan Marshmallow Fluff
- ½ Cup Aquafaba*
- ½ Tsp Xanthan Gum
- ¼ Tsp Agar Powder
- ¼ Tsp Cream of Tartar
- 1 Tsp Pure Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Extract
- ½ Cup Powdered Erythritol
- In a stand mixer, combine the aquafaba, xanthan gum, agar, and cream of tartar. Beat at an increasingly high speed for 2 minutes until it starts to look like whipped egg whites.
- Turn the mixer off, add the vanilla and powdered erythritol.
- Turn the mixer back on and beat at an increasingly high speed for about 5 minutes until you have a white, glossy, fluffy, "stiff peak" fluff!
**You can store extra marshmallow fluff in a closed jar in the fridge for about 3-5 days
Another fun tid-bit about this vegan marshmallow fluff is that you can totally customize it! Add in a flavored extract, food coloring, cocoa powder, anything you want! Have fun with this base recipe; marshmallows are ALWAYS about fun! I’ve never seen someone frown when marshmallow goodness is present! Now you’re going to have to wait another week for that recipe I wanted to post today! Ah! (I’m probably dieing more than you, but I know you’ll love it!) Until then, marshmallow (fluff) on!
So tell me:
+ Have you jumped on the aquafaba train yet?
+ What will YOU use this marshmallow fluff for?

Amazing! So easy. I have a hand mixer so I was worried. Turned out perfect!
Wow, well that’s great to know!
I’m always introduced to a new ingredient when I visit. Thanks for sharing your healthy version of a favorite treat.
My mission 😉 Thank you!
So fluffy!! I have never heard of or tried aquafaba, but my interest is very peaked. This just made me think of fluffer-nutters though.
Go whip some up!! It is a rather fun kitchen experiment (that works!)
I’ve only every made this veggie style, so I am super excited to try a vegan one even though I know it’s dangerous stuff that’s so good you can eat it with a spoon!

Veggie style?
I haven’t made anything with aquafaba yet but this looks amazingly fluffy!
Sharon @ What The Fork Food Blog recently posted…Gluten Free Tuna Noodle Salad
It’s time to try it out!
Ah! Marshmallow fluff! I thought I had to say goodbye to it forever when I went vegan, but now I can make my own.
You totally should win an award for most creative use of aquafaba!
Pinning & sharing =)

Deborah Davis recently posted…It’s Party Time at the Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Party Blog Hop #124
The possibilities never end!
I don’t have agar powder, but have all of the other ingredients. Do you have any suggestions for a substitution for that ingredient? I really want to try this out!
I actually think you could get away without the agar. You might want to try adding 1/4 tsp more of the gum, but that may not even be necessary!
I have to try this because bean juice is just making my brain go crazy! Pinned!

Awesome Fluff glad to have this recipe!
Miz Helen recently posted…Garden Pizza

Um yes, this looks amazing! I remember eating marshmallow fluff straight from the jar when I was little.
Haha, a fluff lover!
Who would have thought! My husband would love this so thanks for sharing. Blessings
Right? I hope you both get to enjoy some fluff!
Chickpeas really are the super Bean! They need to bust out their cape and show how super they are. This is the perfect recipe for us, gluten free and vegan. My vegetarian daughter has been missing her marshmallow, and this will make her extremely happy.
Nikki recently posted…Social Media Blast Facebook Week – I “Like” It!

Ahhh, the magic of aquafaba. It actually took me a while to give aquafaba another try after my failed, first attempt of making meringues. So now I’m using it in no-bake things like ice cream and that actually works well for me. Good to see that this marshmallow fluff is using *raw* aquafaba 🙂

My youngest is on a low sugar diet and often feels left out because he can’t have a lot of the typical desserts. I’m excited to give this a try!
I hope he loves this one! It will be such a fun treat!
Oh the wonder of Aquafaba! I actually haven’t played with it in a while and this has inspired me to get back on the train! I had disasters with the actual meringues when it first all began because my oven temperature didn’t adjust! Now I have a new oven so must try again! I love to make mousse with it, there’s a recipe on my site that I also must make again!
Thank you for the inspiration <3

I have been DYING to try making meringues or fluff with aquafaba! Love this! I so can’t wait to give it a try..
Do it!!! It was so much fun!
This looks out of this world! Omg! I’ve yet to try this and I really need to, it’s gorgeous!

What an interesting recipe this is. So useful to put on many many things. I have never used aquafaba so this will be a new adventure to try, it looks incredible.
Kathleen – Bloggers Lifestyle recently posted…Hot Green Drink [low carb]
It will be a fun adventure!
I am in love with all things AquaFaba and this marshmallow cream takes the cake- looks amazing too!
And it would go very well on a cake 😉 Haha!
This is really neat! I wonder how well it would hold up in fudge?
We’ll have to play around with that!
OH MY GOD. This is just pure heaven. I was never too much into marshmallows, but I can definitely see myself never getting enough of this. Need to make some avocado chocolate mousse and spoon this on top! X
That would be fantastic!!! I used to love chocolate pudding with whipped cream growing up!
Looks so light and fluffy! I once tried making aquafaba macarons but failed miserably and it completely put me off from trying it again! I really want to try this recipe now though!
nadia recently posted…Chocolate Matcha Ice Cream Sandwiches
I was really worried it wouldn’t work…but when it did…and this well….I was SO happy!
I know for sure this is SO much healthier than the bought stuff. I can imagine that it also tastes better too.
Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy recently posted…Baked Roccan Lamb Rolls

This is fascinating and I can’t wait to try it! Not being vegan myself, I had never heard of aquafaba. Now I can’t wait to give this a try for the vegetarians in my family!

I look at this and think s’mores. Thank you so much for the aquafaba info. I had no idea you could get it from making beans yourself! I realize now that is it obvious but sometimes we miss the obvious. Oh and also had no idea you could freeze it. Love it!
Elle @ Only Taste Matters recently posted…Building a Paleo Pantry: 15 Paleo Salad Dressings
I always freeze the aquafaba! This exact batch of fluff was from frozen (so I know it works!)
This is something that I desperately need to make! I’ve been vegetarian for a while and buying the gelatin-free marshmallows is expensive. Also, I recently became sugar free (for a month) and have been wondering how I could possibly ever eat s’mores again. Hope at last! Pinned this to try later!
Gina recently posted…Have An Unwritten Story Time with Your Child
I know! I need marshmallows in my life after so many years, but they needed to be free of everything…and sugar! This was the way!
Marshmallows are one of my favorite foods ever and I hate that I can’t eat them anymore unless I want to pay an insane amount of money for vegan marshmallows. So excited about this recipe–thanks for sharing!
Kim recently posted…How To Get Rid Of Eye Floaters On Your Own
I missed them so much! Normal marshmallows have gelatin, then vegan ones have soy…but this? ALL-FREE! (and dirt cheap!)
WOOOW!! Look how fluffy it is, amazing Rebecca! And all vegan, its really difficult to believe, haha 😀
Hauke Fox recently posted…Vegetarian Diet For Weight Loss – The 28 Day Challenge
It’s simply a wonderful fluffy miracle!
This is the first time I have heard about Aquafaba. It makes sense that it would make good deserts and things that needs a thickening agent. I can’t wait to try this recipe!!! I pinned and shared it.
Fantastic! Glad I could introduce something new!
This is so cool! I’m not a big marshmallow fan (I know weird, right?) but my kids love them, and I hate giving them those sugar laden bombs you can find in the grocery store!
Well these are the healthiest possible substitute ever!
This is so cool!!! I have been looking for a good recipe for marshmallows. I can’t wait to try it!!! I pinned and shared it.
Perfect timing, you will love this!
This is amazing! At this point I’m not convinced you aren’t a wizard, haha. I can imagine this going on so many things! Brilliant.
Hahaha, well thank the power of chickpeas and all their many crazy uses….even marshmallow!
Not to rain on the sugar-free parade here, but could this be made with regular sugar instead of erythritol? I have a toddler who has an allergy to corn products. I googled erythritol to check, and it isn’t looking promising. 🙁
Yes it could, or you could just sweeten to taste with stevia as well.
I’ve been trying to make vegan fluff for a few weeks now. I can get it to fluff up, but then it practically evaporates when I stick it in the fridge. Of course I never thought to cover it! Haha! Sigh… Off to try it again!
Raia recently posted…Summer Squash Chocolate Sheet Cake
It’s better used right away, haha, but with the other gems and agar, it stabilizes it a bit!
Great idea! Good, healthy eating!

I tried making aquafaba before but it was WAY too salty for me. I’d love to be able to make use of it though, so I’m thinking about going back and seeing if they’ve got no salt added cans of chickpeas and try it again with that lol
