Wagon Wheels
Your favourite bikkie with less calories
Yes, you heard right we've come up with a cleaner version of your favourite biscuit, the Wagon Wheel!
Original Wagon Wheels are a mass produced biscuit which sandwiches marshmallow and jam between two cookies covers it in chocolate.
Our version is smothered in chocolate and filled with raspberry chia jam and homemade sugar-free marshmallow. These luscious bikkies are much lower in sugar and carbs than a regular Wagon Wheel and we think they taste better too.
They are dairy, gluten and refined sugar free and can easily be made vegan by simply using a plant based Gelatin.
They're ideal to pack as a treat for a picnic or to pop in the kids lunchboxes every now and then.

Marshmallow
Makes: 330g (more than enough for your 8 cookies)
Ingredients
- 160g strawberries
- ¼ cup water or coconut water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 1 teaspoon Bulk Nutrients Sweetvia
- 2 tablespoon gelatin powder (18g) *
- ⅓ cup boiling water
* To make this recipe vegan friendly, simply replace regular gelatin with a plant based gelatin like Queen's Jel-It-In.
Directions
Note, we advise you to read these instructions carefully first and have the ingredients ready and organised. These directions require you to work fairly quickly to end up with a light and fluffy marshmallow.
- Combine strawberries, vanilla, rose water, water and Sweetvia over heat on a sauce pan. Lower temperature to a simmer until strawberries are broken down.
- Push strawberries through a sieve so you have about ¾ cup of pulp free juice. Set aside
- Combine boiled water to gelatin and whisk quickly until combined well and gelatin dissolves completely. Working quickly so the gelatin does not set, add hot strawberry mix.
- Use an electric whisk and beat for approximately 5 minutes until gelatin has thickened to resemble lightly whisked egg whites and has lightened in colour significantly.
