How to make Marshmallow Creme
Description
How to make Marshmallow Creme begins with heating a mixture of water, sugar, and corn syrup to 240 degrees Fahrenheit, reaching the soft-ball stage for candy making. Separately, egg whites are beaten with cream of tartar to soft peaks for structure. The hot syrup is slowly streamed into the egg whites while mixing on low, then the mixture is whipped at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the texture is thick, glossy, and stable. Vanilla is added at the end for flavor.
The resulting marshmallow creme has a smooth, fluffy consistency suitable as a spread, topping, or ingredient in recipes. It offers a homemade alternative to store-bought marshmallow fluff.
The creme can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. It is frugal and straightforward to make with basic ingredients.
