How to Make Agave Marshmallows

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the agave nectar, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Continue to boil, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) - the soft-ball stage. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Slowly drizzle the hot agave syrup into the egg whites while beating on medium-high speed. Continue beating until the mixture is thick, glossy, and completely cooled (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Gently fold in the vanilla extract.
  7. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  8. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Let the marshmallows sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set completely.
  10. Once set, dust with powdered sugar and cut into desired shapes using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
