Description
This marshmallow frosting is soft, fluffy, and full of sweet vanilla-marshmallow flavor. It comes together quickly and makes an easy topping for cupcakes, cakes, brownies, and cookie bars when you want a light, creamy finish.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups marshmallow creme
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1. Beat the softened butter in a large mixing bowl for 2 to 3 minutes until pale and creamy.
2. Add the marshmallow creme and mix until smooth and fully combined.
3. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix on low speed at first, then increase to medium speed until thick and creamy.
4. Add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to loosen the frosting to your desired consistency.
5. Beat for 1 to 2 more minutes until light and fluffy, then use immediately on fully cooled desserts.
Notes
Use fully softened butter so the frosting blends smoothly without lumps.
Always frost completely cooled desserts so the marshmallow frosting keeps its fluffy texture.
For a slightly firmer frosting, chill it for 10 to 15 minutes before piping.
