Dandelion Honey Marshmallows (Gelatin-Free) are light, fluffy, and infused with a delicate floral sweetness. Made with agar-agar instead of gelatin, these vegetarian-friendly marshmallows are the perfect treat for those seeking a natural, plant-based alternative. Perfect in tea, cocoa, or on their own!

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 marshmallows

Ingredients

1/4 cup dandelion honey

1/2 cup water, divided

1 tbsp agar-agar powder

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, mix 1/4 cup water with agar-agar powder. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

  • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fully dissolved (about 2–3 minutes).

  • Add remaining 1/4 cup water, sugar, and dandelion honey. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the mixture for 8–10 minutes until thick, glossy, and slightly increased in volume.

  • Pour into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish and smooth the top.

  • Let it set at room temperature for about 1 hour.

  • Dust with powdered sugar, slice into squares, and roll edges in more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • These marshmallows are best enjoyed fresh within a few days.

  • Increase agar-agar to 1.5 tbsp for a firmer texture.

  • Use silicone molds for shaped marshmallows—perfect for gifts or parties!
