Ingredients

  • 2 cups fat-free Fairlife milk
  • 5 tbsp gelatin
  • 3-4 servings coconut cream whey protein (whey concentrate or isolate)
  • chocolate (Lily’s for a low-sugar option)
  • 1-2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the top in a thin layer.
  2. Mix slightly and let the gelatin bloom until it turns into a thick goo, about 10 minutes.
  3. Place over low heat and stir until it runs thin.
  4. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  5. Add the protein and whisk until the mixture doubles or triples in volume. This can take a while; don’t let it get cold, or it will start to harden and be harder to transfer.
  6. Pour into a parchment-lined pan and let harden for at least 2 hours.
  7. Cut into shapes and coat in a melted chocolate and coconut oil mixture.

Notes

  • The coconut oil thins the chocolate so it makes a thinner shell over the marshmallow.
