Marshmallow Frosting Recipe
Description
The Marshmallow Frosting recipe uses room temperature butter whipped with powdered sugar to form a fluffy base. Marshmallow creme (fluff) is folded in along with vanilla extract to incorporate a smooth, sweet marshmallow flavor. The mixing is done gently to maintain the lightness of the frosting, which can be piped directly onto cupcakes or spread on cakes. This frosting is visually white and presents a glossy surface when fresh.
The texture is creamy and airy, and the marshmallow adds a sweet, slightly sticky quality that adheres well to baked goods without becoming overly dense. The simplicity of the ingredients allows for a straightforward preparation requiring minimal equipment—just a mixer and a piping bag if desired.
This frosting pairs well with vanilla, chocolate, or other simple cake flavors, offering a complementary sweetness and a soft texture contrast to crumbly cake layers. It is best used fresh or stored briefly, as the marshmallow creme retains moisture but may lose peak softness over time.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 7 oz marshmallow creme fluff
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat butter and powdered sugar until fluffy and well mixed.
- Mix in fluff and vanilla by hand and mix well.
