healthy paleo Marshmallow Fluff
Traditional marshmallow fluff is often made with corn syrup and refined sugar. This homemade healthy marshmallow fluff is whipped from egg whites, cream of tartar, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla—creating that iconic airy texture without the additives. It’s light, fluffy, and just sweet enough, making it the perfect contrast to fresh strawberries and rich chocolate. This is one of those components that feels fancy but is surprisingly simple to make—and it truly sets these s’mores jars apart.
Ingredients You’ll Need
The full recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. Here is an overview:
Healthy Marshmallow Fluff
- Egg whites: You can use fresh egg whites or egg whites from a carton, just be sure to weight them on a food scale for accurate results!
- Cream of tartar: This cannot be skipped, as it’s what stabilizes the fluff and allows it to stay fluffy and creamy! You can find this at most grocery stores!
- Honey
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
Toasted Coconut Crumble
The toasted coconut cashew crumble adds a warmth and depth, creating that nostalgic “toasted” s’mores vibe—without the campfire 😉
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- Almond butter
- Cashews
- Maple syrup & sea salt
For the chocolate strawberry Jars
- Fresh strawberries
- Chocolate chips: Hu chocolate chips, date sweetened chocolate chips, lakanto baking chips (monk fruit sweetened), Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips, and Pascha are all great options!
How to Make chocolate strawberry cups
- Make the marshmallow fluff
Whip egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. You’ll heat water, maple syrup, and honey together until it reaches 240F (This typically takes about 10 minutes. You can use a candy thermometer). Then you’ll slowly drizzle the syrup mixture into the egg whites while whipping until super thick and glossy. Lastly, you’ll add in the vanilla extract, whip a minute longer, then it’s done! - Prepare the coconut crumble
Toast the shredded coconut and cashews until golden. Stir with almond butter, sea salt, and maple syrup until crumbly and evenly coated. - Assemble the jars
Layer strawberries, marshmallow fluff, coconut crumble, and chocolate drizzle. Repeat layers as desired. - Chill or enjoy immediately
Serve right away!
Tips for the Best Strawberry Dessert Jars
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor
- Toast the cashews and coconut for deeper flavor
- Chill jars for 30 minutes if you want firmer layers – keep in mind the chocolate will harden.
- Use small jars or glasses for portion-perfect desserts
Easy Variations & Swap
- Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter and omit cashews
- Dairy-free: Use dairy-free chocolate
- Berry swap: Try raspberries or sliced bananas
- White chocolate covered strawberries: swap in melted white chocolate for a fun twist!

Chocolate Strawberry Cups
Ingredients
Jars
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Toasted coconut cashew crumble (optional)
- 3/4 cup chopped cashews
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
marshmallow fluff
- 90 grams egg whites
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
marshmallow fluff
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, whip the egg whites until they’re frothy (you can also use a hand mixer!). It's important that your bowl is super clean and doesn't have any oil residue, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping. Add in the cream of tartar and salt, then whip to soft peaks.
- When they reach soft peaks, you can turn off the mixer and start making the syrup.
- In a medium/large pot, combine water, honey, and maple syrup. Set on the stove, turn the heat to medium and let the mixture cook until it reaches 240ºF. Try to not disturb it, but if it starts to bubble too high, simply lower the heat just slightly. I recommend using a candy thermometer, however if you don't have one, this typically takes about 10 minutes.
- Remove the syrup mixture from the heat. While the mixer is going on medium, slowly pour into the egg whites. Once the syrup is all added, increase the speed and whip until the mix is thick and glossy (about 5 minutes). Add in the vanilla and whip for another minute, then pour into a storage container and serve or store.
Toasted coconut cashew crumble
- Toast the cashews and coconut. Lay on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for minutes until golden.
- Add to a bowl along with the almond butter, maple, and sea salt. Mix well.
Assembling the cups
- Slice your strawberries thin.
- Layer: strawberries, melted chocolate drizzle, cashew crumble, a little marshmallow fluff. Note: If you don't want these incredibly sweet, you can just add the marshmallow fluff on top rather than doing layers!
- Enjoy straight away!
This is completely next level! So elegant and luxurious but deceptively simple. Bravo👏
