Thick marshmallow fluff goodness – yum yum yum! did you know you can make it at home? Super easy, super delicious, and SO worth it! I have TWO amazing recipes, this one uses cooked sugar syrup to stabilize the egg whites while the other recipe (see marshmallow frosting here) heats the sugar and egg whites together. I use them interchangeably in various recipes – dipping the S’more truffles, frosting cakes, filling macarons, in my s’more ice cream, on top of tarts… etc.. (see below for more)
AND I made a video of both recipes for you! Seriously they are so easy – you are going to DIE over how amazing it tastes as well. The thick fluffy goodness is divine, sweet, mouthwatering divine.
Any fluff you don’t use put in an airtight container (I like to use a gallon size bag so I can squeeze the extra air out). It will soften, won’t be as stiff, but it will still make a great topping, I use it for a few days and I use it to top ice cream, in hot chocolate, to dip graham crackers into, with cookies, kinda whatever I can get my hands on…

I am a vegetarian and have been looking for a marshmallowy recipe without gelatin. This was really easy to make and so delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Hi!!
I guess that this cream can’t be frozen?
Ashlee
I’ve never tried? but I’m not really into freezing anyting dairy honestly – the freezing causes too many issues with crystallization. Also it’s really only the right texture RIGHT after you finish beating – I keep extra in a plastic bag in the fridge for a few weeks but it’s always going to be soft and not hold pipping after that first beating

Hello Ashlee!
Please let me know if this marshmallow could be use to bake as meringue cookies.
Ashlee Marie
no this is not the same kind of meringue
Spencer
Amazing, easy and delish!
Once you make homemade, you will never go back to store bought. Homemade is a pure, luscious and rich delight!
Homemade doesn’t have the chemicals and preservatives of store bought.
This recipe does require a candy thermometer and finding the sweet spot in your Kitchen Aid to pour in the hot syrup.
Wear long pants and shirt. This hot syrup can cause serious burns. After 8 minutes, it is ready for immediate use or storing in the refrigerator.
I store mine in the refrigerator in a sealed ziplock freezer gallon bag with all of the contents pressed to one corner.
When ready to use, I cut one corner of the bag and pipe it. Once opened, I place the gallon bag into an unused gallon bag. It usually lasts 10-14 days in the refrigerator.
Rich but not overly sweet. It can be used for piping, filling Macarons or just eaten straight from the bag.
Yum!

CAN YOU USE THE FOODPROCESSOR FOR THIS RECIPE
Ashlee Marie
no, food processors cut through what is in them, it doesn’t whip and aerate like you need for this recipe
