How to Make Your Own Marshmallows at Home
Back when I was a vegetarian, I’d never paid any attention to marshmallows simply because they contained gelatin. Due to a health crisis, a few months ago my diet was completely turned upside-down. Sick, broke, and unable to consume chocolate, I had given up on finding any comfort in food- that was until I chanced upon a recipe for DIY marshmallows.
To my disappointment, some of the ingredients are rather hard to get in the Netherlands and my first thought was had I had the money, I wouldn't be online looking for a DIY recipe. Nevertheless I decided to tweak the recipe a bit and come up with a broke-college-student version of the DIY marshmallow. I present to you, the marshpillows.

Some final words of advice: a good mixer is essential to make a successful marshmallow, but we’re not called "poor, broke" college students for no reason. It’s rare for any of us to have that bad-boy in our unkempt kitchen. I used a hand-mixer and as a result, these bad boys look more like gum than marshmallows. Hence, the name, “marshpillows.”
