I was really nervous to make this Marshmallow Creme Recipe. But once I realized that it was easy to make with simple ingredients, I knew I had to give it a try.

Marshmallow Cream can be used in many different recipes. It is light, airy and has the perfect texture. Our favorite way to use is in our Best Fruit Dip Recipe or this Strawberry Fruit Dip.

We love making Dessert Recipes to use this Homemade Marshmallow Cream. You may even like to use it in this Peanut Butter Fluff Recipe.

What does it taste like?

We even like it mixed in with a favorite smoothie.

How to Make Marshmallow Fluff:

Step 1 – In a small saucepan combine the water, corn syrup and sugar over medium heat. Whisk occasionally. Heat the mixture until candy thermometer reaches 240 degrees.

Step 2 – While the hot sugar mixture is heating, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in. Make sure to use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to stabilizes the egg whites.

Step 3 – Beat on medium speed to medium high speed until soft peaks form. This should occur after about 2 minutes of mixing. When the sugar mixture reaches 240 degrees, remove from heat.

Step 4 – Then with your mixer on low, slowly add sugar mixture to the egg whites.

Step 5 – Once all of the sugar mixture has been added, turn the mixer to medium-high. You will then whip until stiff peaks form, about 7-9 minutes.

Step 6 – Next stir in the vanilla extract during the last minute of the whipping time. The mixture will be thick and glossy white. Spoon the marshmallow creme and scrap the sides of the bowl into a storage container.

How to Thicken Marshmallow Fluff:

The cream of tartar is the star ingredient in this recipe. I recommend that you don’t skip this ingredient. This is what gives this marshmallow fluff a creamier texture and helps thicken the cream.

If you find that your homemade marshmallow fluff is too runny, I recommend mixing in a little more cream of tartar. You can then achieve the consistency that you desire.

How do you like to enjoy your Marshmallow Fluff?

Like I said before, I love using this recipe to make fudge or my favorite fruit dip. However, there are so many uses for this delicious recipe. We have even made a fluffernutter sandwich.

You can create Marshmallow Cream Frosting with this recipe and use this to top your favorite cupcakes. This recipe is also perfect to make delicious Rice Krispie treats for my kids to enjoy.

Marshmallow spread can also be used to top your ice cream or to use in a peanut butter sandwich.

Can you Make HomemadeMarshmallow Cream without Eggs?

If you are allergic to eggs or following a Vegan diet, you can create an egglessmarshmallowfluff recipe. Try this recipe by using Aquafaba instead of the egg whites and corn syrup in this recipe.

Aquafaba is a great egg substitute. It is essentially the water that chick peas have been cooked in. I haven’t used this before when baking but have heard that it works great to create meringues and marshmallow fluff.
