Best Fruit Based Marshmallows (2026): Clean-Label, Half a Teaspoon of Sugar per Pack, Fruit-Powered Swirls

Fruit-based marshmallows swap most of the sugar and the gelatin of a classic marshmallow for fruit. Our Nuages are made from cooked apple purée, egg white and fruit, with just half a teaspoon of sugar per pack: about five times less sugar than a classic marshmallow.

Key takeaways

• What makes a marshmallow "fruit-based"? Fruit purée is the main ingredient instead of sugar syrup.
• Do Nuages contain sugar? Yes, a little: half a teaspoon per pack, which is about five times less than a classic marshmallow.
• Do they contain gelatin? No. The airy texture comes from apple purée and whipped egg white.
• Price: from CHF 3.50 per Nuage on our Nuages page.

What's inside our Nuages

Ingredients: apple, egg white, fruits, sugar (less than 5%), lemon juice, glucose syrup. The apples come from the canton of Vaud. Because the recipe contains egg white, Nuages are not suitable for people with an egg allergy, and they are not vegan.

Flavours

Apple, berries, blackcurrant, passion fruit and strawberry, plus a mix of small Nuages for tasting several flavours at once.

How to read a fruit-based marshmallow label

• Look at the first ingredient. In a fruit-based marshmallow it should be fruit, not sugar or glucose syrup.
• Check the sugar line, not just the front of the pack. "Less sugar" and "no added sugar" are different claims.
• Check for gelatin if you avoid animal gelatin.

Who they're for

Nuages suit anyone who loves the texture of marshmallows but wants a lighter, fruitier treat: children's snack boxes, a sweet moment with coffee, or a small gift. They are still a treat, so enjoy them in reasonable portions.
