SCD Homemade Peppermint Marshmallows

by

Marshmallows are a holiday must, and these homemade peppermint flavored ones can’t be beat! Easy to whip up, and fun for the whole family you will want to make these all year round! If you don’t like peppermint, feel free to substitute vanilla extract instead. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for them to set, but patience is a virtue and I guarantee these are worth the wait! Airy, sweet, and bursting with cooling peppermint flavor, these marshmallows are a great treat on their own, or with your favorite hot drink. After whipping, I like to spread the marshmallow mixture out onto a half sheet tray so the finished product has more height. You can also make these more holiday-themed by cutting out the set marshmallows with holiday-shaped cookie cutters, just be sure to grease the cutters with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas friends! Enjoy!
