With a hint of vanilla, it’s scoopable and spreadable. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself ‘taste-testing’ it every so often! It’s the perfect addition to a fluffernutter sandwich and great on ice cream or between cookies.
Homemade Marshmallow Fluff
Marshmallow fluff (AKA marshmallow crème) is dippable, spreadable, smooth, and creamy! With basic pantry ingredients, marshmallow fluff is easy to make. It’s perfect to use as a dip for fruit, a frosting for cupcakes, to swirl in hot chocolate, or to make extra chewy Rice Krispie treats.
First appearing on Martha Stewart in 2007, I first shared this recipe in 2013. It comes from this book by Kimberly Reiner. It’s fluffy, thick, and perfect in every way!
Ingredients for Marshmallow Fluff
Egg Whites are the base, making it fluffy and giving its signature texture. You can use pasteurized egg whites if you’d like. Cream of Tartar help stabilize the egg whites. Corn syrup both sweetens and thickens this marshmallow fluff. Light or dark corn syrup work in this recipe; I prefer light for the color. Granulated Sugar adds sweetness and structure to the marshmallow fluff. Vanilla Extract is added for flavor (I like clear vanilla extract). Try other extracts to vary the flavor, like almond, maple, coconut, or lemon. You can also add orange or lemon zest.
How to Make Marshmallow Fluff
Serve marshmallow fluff along with fresh fruit kabobs, scoop onto homemade waffles, or mix it into our fantasy fudge recipe! And most famously, make a fluffernutter! Spread peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter) and marshmallow creme on bread like a PB&J. So yummy!
