First I want to thank Beeb/Linda (LCF) for posting her Condensed milk recipe. Without it I would never have discovered this faux marshmallow fluff. I was tweaking her recipe, and came up with this quite different recipe. Thanks Beeb!! Low Carb Sweetened Condensed Milk Made From Table Cream!

Faux Marshmallow Fluff by Billie

7 1/2 oz (about, just under 8 oz, but I think you could use 7 or Cool heavy cream (whipping cream)
2/3 cup equivalent sweetener (Not sure if I used that much, but need to!) (I used a blend of Erythritol & stevia)
1 TBsp Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (I used Body Fortress)
1/4 tsp Glucomannan (I think this is what gave it the texture similar to marshmallow fluff)
Vanilla
1 tsp Vanilla or French Vanilla DaVinci (I've read someone say that when they made marshmallow fluff they used the French Vanilla to achieve a taste similar to Marshmallows)

I cooked this in a 2 cup microwave safe glass measuring cup (a bigger one would be nice). I cooked for 1 min & stirred. Put back in & set for 1 min again, but had to stop a few times & stir down. Put on for another minute, and did the same. (Cook until fairly thick) (You can cook this on top of the stove, stirring until desired thickness.)

I'm not sure how much sweetener I ended up using (not quite enough tho), but I started out with 2 TBsp Erythritol, 1/16th tsp pure Stevia Extract, & 2 drops Sweetzfree (I may have even added a little more, sorry I can't remember now, but it did need some more of something.)
While still quite warm, it looked like 1 1/3 - 1 1/2 cup, but when it had cooled down, it was about 1 cup.

************************
For small batch I did:

4 oz cream
1 TBsp Erythritol
1/32 tsp Stevia (pure extract)
1 drop Sweetzfree
1/2 TBsp Vanilla Whey Protein pwd
1 tsp vanilla DaVinci
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/16 tsp Gluccomannan


The sweetened condensed milk recipe I tweaked, and came up with is is here: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/702206-low-carb-sweetened-condensed-milk-made-table-cream.html

Just wanted to say, that I have used this in Hot Chocolate & it had a taste & texture very similar to melting marshmallows in hot chocolate!

Another idea I remembered I wanted to share about this recipe, is that I used it at Thanksgiving to top a Faux Sweet Potato Casserole. It worked out quite well as a marshmallow replacement for that!
