S'mores - Marshmellow Substitute?

Question

I am a vegetarian and I do not eat gelatin, what is a good substitute for Marshmellows in s'mores???

Answer 1

fruit tastes really good on it! try blueberries, or watermelon but frist try strawberries 'cause they r the best!

Answer 2

Try ricemallow.  It's vegan and uses rice syrup as a sweetener.  I get it at my local grocery store.  Any whole foods store should have it too.

Answer 3

Some results came up when I searched for "vegetarian marshmallows," but apparently they're awfully hard to find. Also came up with some recipes for making your own marshmallows -- Wikipedia said that many manufacturers use gelatin instead of the natural marshmallow extract due to costs.

Supposedly you could use marshmallow fluff, as most contain either very little or no gelatin at all. Something to look in to.

Answer 4

Beef Jerkey

Answer 5

If you go to your local grocery store, they usually have vegan/vegetarian marshmallow fluff. Hope you buy some =)

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

WOW the fruit sounds like a great idea! I will try that myself!!

Answer 10

I am, too! Maybe white chocolate or something? Make it melted.

Answer 11

Marshmellow "Fluff" is made gelatin free.

At better health food stores there are Vegan Marshmellows.

Answer 12

Hello,

How about a little peanut butter slathered on. You could make them in the microwave. It would be very yummy!

Good Luck!

Answer 13

marshmallow fluff it is soft creamy and sticky.....can you eat that?

Answer 14

Someone already said it, but Marshmallow fluff doesn't have gelatin in it.  Unfortunately it doesn't toast well over a fire.  They make vegetarian marshmallows but you'll probably have to order them online, or else I book marked this recipe a while ago if you want to make your own http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~connelly/mars...

And also as already said, fruit or peanut butter would taste good with melted chocolate and graham cracker.  If you're making s'mores over the coals of a grill, grilled banana slices would be a great substitute and would be the perfect size.  :)

Answer 15

Marshmallow fluff, if you eat egg whites. Otherwise, vegetarian marshmallows or vegan marshmallow fluff. Try veganessentials.com.  You could also just use fruit, like bananas or strawberries, peanut butter, or more chocolate as someone else suggested.

Answer 16

Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme/Fluff is totally vegetarian. I do believe it contains milk. So it is not vegan :-) I used it for my smores last week, it was delicious.. Just microwave them, you cant use the creme over a fire. Here is how i do it

put 1-2 pieces of chocolate on a gram

spread the creme on the other gram

microwave for about 20-30 seconds

put toghether and eat!

Also I know there is a brand of vegan marshmallows called Sweet Sara or something. I think you have to order them online and are quite pricey.
