Marshmallow cake 81 cals!

Marshmallow Cake 81 cals 3/0/15 C/F/P

4 Egg Whites
7g Splenda
1g Xantham Gum
1 Packet SF jelly with 175ml hot and 175ml cold water (raspberry and lime jelly lite flavouring makes cola flavour)
5g Gelatine which was added to the jelly mixture
dash of vanilla essence

Just whip up 4 egg whites
In a seperate bowl dissolve 28g gelatine in 125ml cold water, don't let it set, then add 125 boiling water. Stir
Add 7g splenda and vanilla essence to your gelatine.
Turn the egg whites back on in the mixer and slowly add in your gelatine mix.
Pour into a tray, and let it sit in the fridge for about 1.5hrs.

No pics, but it basically looks like protein fluff but it has marshmallow texture. You can chop it up into whatever size bits you want. I attempted to eat the lot in one go and couldn't. Got through 3/4


(I forgot that Americans use the term jelly for what we call jam (or fruit conserve). The sugar free jelly mix I use is this one. So look for something similar )

This is what the additional gelatin is.


I got mine from the baking area of supermarket near baking powder.

High in Protein low in Cals and Carbs.. Sounds interesting

So we put the jelly and gelatin in the same thing with water?

This is making my brain hurt, Chris.

That is correct You need the additional unsweetened jelly so that it is strong enough mixture to turn the whole amount of fluffed of egg whites to a solidified texture. (otherwise, you just have protein fluff minus the protein powder )

When does the Xantham Gum go in? Can I replace it with something or omit it? I DK if I can find it here! :laugh:

chrisdavey

Oh sorry, I put that in with the egg whites when they are fluffed up a bit. And you can DEFINITELY get it in the US. That is where I heard of it from

Also, sorry I was incorrect on the macros as I used 1 serve of SF jelly instead of the 4 it has. So it is

130 cals 4/0/27 C/F/P for a whole cake!!!!

BIG SIGH - I so want to do this, but I'm afraid jelly and gelatin doesn't exactly meet my vegetarian ethics. It's a struggle of mine. Great source of protein and so so low cal, but.....!

chrisdavey

damn. I mentioned it to my Mum who is vegetarian also. I'll see if she has come up with any replacements.

you can use Agar Agar, or most kosher gelatins are safe. Lieber's unflavored gel, Carmel's unsweetened gel, KoJel's unflavored gel, and Hain Superfruits are all vegan, so they don't come from animals.

Ok, I think I understand, except when it says to "In a seperate bowl dissolve 28g gelatine in 125ml cold water, don't let it set, then add 125 boiling water. Stir " Because I thought I dissolved all of the different "jellies" in 175ml hot/cold water? so I take that water mixture, and add more water?

What if I don't have unflavoured Jello? How bout if I used flavoured??

And Jenn's question too.

chrisdavey

Some people have used 2 packets of flavoured jello & 10g gelatin. I only used 1 packet and 5g and it set fine for me so I think anywhere between these 2 levels will work. You could try 2 packets flavoured and IMO I "think" it would work fine but not going to know until you try it. You guys can DEFINITELY get unflavoured stuff in the US though

This is all I did:
1. got another bowl
2. put 1 packet of flavoured jello in there and additional 5g unflavoured gelatin
3. put 125ml boiling water in and stirred
4. put another 125ml of cold water in and stirred
5. add this liquid to the egg whites slowly as they were in the electric mixer

Hope that clears it up

Making another one tonight so will get some pics

JennLifts

Ok. You are the worst at recipe writing. But we forgive you, because they all look yummylicious.

Thanks Chris

chrisdavey

serves me right for copying and pasting :P

I just made my second attempt at lunch time then.

One thing I will add is: Use a bowl with a pourer for your jello so you don't spill it all over the bench like me haha

chocolategram

yummy

chrisdavey

pics finally I made it through 3/4 of the cake but couldn't finish. Was topped with 1 cup low fat greek yoghurt mixed with SF vanilla pudding.

I can't wait to make this! I don't have a car this week so I've not been able to make ti to a store that sales the X gum! Hoping to get there via my bike tomorrow! I REALLY want to try this! :laugh:

chrisdavey

Reports from non healthy friends was that it was tasty as too!

Also, the guy who gave me the recipe has now started adding the yoghurt to the fluffed egg whites before the jelly. 1 tbspn at a time and up to 150g he said. So going to give that a go next time

Do you think it's possible to make this without a mixer? Could I just beat the hell out of it with a whisk ?

Also - I'd like to cut down on the artificial sweetener. How sweet is this? With the jello + splenda, it sounds like it is probably very dessert-like. Just curious!

Looks deeeelish!

ChellieIrish

Hmmm nom nom nom looks yummy! :bigsmile:

I've never seen this over in Ireland "1g Xantham Gum" the rest I have used LOVE SF Jelly I also add some skimmed milk before setting it which is also yummy :bigsmile:

Thanks for sharing :drinker:

Absolutely not possible without a mixer unless you can use a whisk at some sort of ridiculous speed! I ended up beating the last one for about 20mins. The longer the better as it just keeps rising

Sweetness: I would say is pretty much like a regular marshmallow. Not crazy sweet or anything. My tastebuds may have changed a bit though as I don't generally have that much sugary stuff, always sugar free basically.

What is Xanthan Gum ??? never heard of it

I don't use any sweetener or sugar at all in my food - The only exception would be my protein powder, which contains some sweetener. Otherwise I take everything black and unsweetened. I am thinking that SF pudding/jelly would be very sweet for my tastebuds. Could I get away without the splenda?
