Handmade Marshmallows - Sugar Free

• 9 ounces unflavored gelatin (3 packets)
• 1 cup cold water, divided
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 14 cup Splenda granular (see my comments below) or 14 cup equivalent liquid Splenda sugar substitute (see my comments below)
• 3 egg whites

1. Put 1/4 cup cold water in a shallow soup bowl.
2. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface of the water and let stand 5 minutes to soften.
3. Bring the remaining 3/4 cup water to a boil in a small pot.
4. Turn off the stove and add the gelatin; whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
5. Whisk in the vanilla and Splenda.
6. Chill until the gelatin mixture is cool but not thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so.
7. When the gelatin is ready, beat the egg whites in a medium bowl until they form soft peaks.
8. Slowly drizzle in the gelatin in a thin stream while beating.
9. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy but not dry.
10. Pour into a shallow pan, 6x8" or 8x8".
11. I lined my pan with nonstick foil just to be sure that they would come out later.
12. Chill until set, at least 2-3 hours.
13. Cut into 12 pieces and store in the refrigerator.
14. They will keep for a few days.
15. Do not freeze.
