Marshmallow Fluff
Homemade marshmallow fluff is a delightful treat that's perfect for desserts, s'mores, or simply enjoyed on its own. Easy to make and customizable with various flavors.
Ingredients
For the fluff
- 1/3 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3 large egg whites (room temperature) Ensure these are at room temperature for best volume.
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can be substituted with other extracts for flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Combine the water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium heavy-bottom saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Place over medium-high heat. Do not stir; the mixture will bubble.
- Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer with a whisk attachment. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Cooking
- When the sugar syrup reaches 240°F, remove it from the heat and very slowly pour the sugar mixture into the egg whites in a steady stream while on medium speed.
- Once fully combined, continue to whisk, increasing the speed to medium-high. The mixture will first deflate but will thicken back up. Continue to whip for 7-8 minutes, then whisk in the vanilla.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before using.
Notes
To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. If you notice any hardening, stir before using.
