Ohhh yes — 2-Ingredient Orange Marshmallows 🍊☁️ — soft, pillowy, and full of bright citrus flavor. Totally doable at home with minimal ingredients and no weird stabilizers.
2-Ingredient Orange Marshmallows
Ingredients
-
1 package (about 3 oz / 85 g) orange-flavored gelatin (like Jell-O)
-
1 cup egg whites (about 8 large egg whites)
Optional: pinch of salt or a few drops of vanilla extract to enhance flavor
Instructions
1) Whip the egg whites
-
In a clean, dry bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
2) Add gelatin
-
Gradually sprinkle in orange gelatin while continuing to whip.
-
Whip until stiff, glossy peaks form. The mixture will be thick, fluffy, and slightly sticky.
3) Shape the marshmallows
-
Line a baking dish or tray with parchment and lightly dust with powdered sugar (optional).
-
Spoon or pipe the marshmallow mixture onto the tray.
-
Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
4) Chill
-
Refrigerate 2–3 hours, until firm enough to cut or pull apart.
5) Serve
-
Cut into squares or use cookie cutters.
-
Dust lightly with powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Tips & Tricks
-
Egg whites must be at room temperature for maximum volume.
-
For extra citrus punch, add ½ tsp orange zest to the whipped mixture.
-
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
-
Can be used in hot chocolate, s’mores, or just eaten as-is.
If you want, I can give a no-egg version that still uses only 2–3 ingredients but is vegan-friendly and just as fluffy.
