Vegan MMF recipe? - Page 2

I was a strict vegan for many, many years. I eat MOSTLY a vegan diet still, but make exceptions for certain things (I can't live without cheese, and I love fish).

But even if I'm no longer vegan, most of my friends still are...and they don't know anyone else who can bust out a vegan 'chocolate' cake like I can icon_smile.gif

I have used Marshmallow Creme for making MMF in the past and it worked really well. I even used it to make about 50 roses (added a tiny bit of gumtex to it), and it held up wonderfully.

I have also had vegan marshmallows, but with the cost being a little on the pricey-side, I have never used them for making MMF.

i've tried making fondant with kosher "gelatin" (im not sure what it really is) and it was tempermental. i like buying it because its easy, and consistent, and tastes good. i can't imagine having the time to make your own mm's without the eggs, then making them into mmf!!




From what I understand, kosher gelatin is still gelatin, and it is animal derived.

I don't believe the Catholic church has ever claimed that fish is "vegetarian"... the rule about no meat on Fridays during Lent is meant as a type of penance; a small way of showing appreciation for Jesus' suffering.

Not that it applies to me - I don't eat fish either! icon_smile.gif

perhaps some brands are animal derived, but the one i got wasn't, its made of vegetable gums and sugar. i checked the box. you get good at that when you shop vegan.

Sorry, didn't mean to be overly sensitive. I hear a lot of Catholic bashing.

What brand did you find that was vegetable derived? I've never been able to find any.

i've got Kojel brand kosher/vegan "gelatin". here's a link to it:

the stuff i have isn't diet, and i got it at a local kosher mart. but i never use it anymore, i wasn't too impressed with my fondant results with it. maybe now that i have more experience it would be easier to get right.

This is backwards. Ovo vegetarians WILL eat eggs, and lacto vegetarians eat dairy. Ovo-lacto vegetarians eat both dairy and eggs but no meat.

Fish is not a vegetable, neither is chicken. You're either vegetarian or you're not...you can't be a "little vegetarian". In my opinion, the term vegetarian should not include eggs or dairy, etc. either since they are not vegetable based, but that is a whole other can of worms all together. And we all have a right ot our beliefs and opinions if we're respectful of other's. icon_smile.gif
