This Homemade Marshmallow Creme is so light, airy, easy to make and made without any corn syrup. It will make you question why you use to buy the jar stuff.

Homemade Marshmallow Creme

Homemade Marshmallow Creme is so easy to make and absolutely delicious! And BONUS this recipe can be made without using corn syrup. 4 simple ingredients is all that is needed to make your next fluffernutter sandwich or marshmallow creme frosting.

Homemade Marshmallow Creme Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Egg Whites – It is important not to get any yolk into the whites. This will prevent the whites from whipping into the correct texture.
  • Sugar – granulated sugar is best here.
  • Cream of Tartar – this helps to stabelize the egg whites.
  • Vanilla Extract – for a traditional vanilla flavor. Swap our your favorite (NON-OIL BASED) extract to switch up the flavor.

How to Make Homemade Marshmallow Creme

  • Place a saucepan on the stovetop, fill it with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil.
  • In a heatproof bowl (large enough to sit on top of the saucepan without touching the water) combine the egg whites, granulated sugar and cream of tartar. (Alternatively, you use a double boiler.)
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and hand-whisk the egg mixture continuously. As it heats, it will become frothy and thinner.
  • Keep whisking until the sugar has fully dissolved into the egg-white mixture.
  • To check, dip a clean finger into the mixture and rub it between your fingers. It should feel smooth with no sugar granules. Be cautious, as the mixture will be hot. If you’re using a candy thermometer, the temperature should read 160F.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, add the vanilla extract and whisk on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Your marshmallow fluff is now ready to use. Once it has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to clean jars to store or use immediately.

    This recipe sounds amazing! I love that it skips the corn syrup. Can’t wait to try it. Do you think honey could be a substitute for sugar? And how long does the marshmallow creme keep in the fridge?

      I have not tested the recipe with honey, so I’m not sure. It lasts for 5-7 days in the fridge.

100,000 of you. I’m honestly still trying to wrap
100,000 of you. I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head around that.

What started as me just sharing what I was making for my family, little moments, and pieces of my life has turned into this incredible community, and that’s because of YOU. 

The comments, the messages, the times you’ve made my recipes in your own kitchens… it all means more than I can put into words.

Thank you for being here, for supporting me, and for growing alongside me. I don’t take a single one of you for granted.

We’re just getting started 🤍

Comment GARDEN and I’ll send you all the details to your inbox. 

The best thing about these garden beds is that they can be made to any dimension that you want! I created four 4x8 beds, two 3x8 beds, and two 2x3 beds using the exact same method each time!

Materials (for ONE 4x8 bed)
* (4) 2x8 boards, cut to 8 ft long
* (4) 2x8 boards, cut to 4 ft long 
* (24) 3” exterior wood screws 
* (4) 2x4 boards, cut to 14” long

Instructions
1. Cut Your Boards (if needed)
Cut your boards to length before assembling. We had (4) 12’ boards, we cut into an 8’ board and 4’ board. However, you can also buy (6) 8’ boards and then cut 2 of them in half. 

2. Drill Pilot Holes (optional)
On each 8’ board measure ¾” in from each end and Drill 2 pilot holes per end, spaced about 2–3” from the top and bottom
This helps prevent the wood from splitting when you add screws.

3. Build the First Layer (Bottom Frame)
Lay out:
 * (2) 8 ft boards (long sides)
 * (2) 4 ft boards (short sides)
Form a rectangle with the short boards sitting inside the long boards. Then attach the boards using 3” screws into the pilot holes you created in the previous step. 

4. Stack the Second Layer
Repeat process by placing the second set of boards directly on top of the first frame, lining up edges carefully

5. Add Corner Supports 
Place the 2x4 board inside each corner
These should sit flush with the bottom and sit an inch below the top. 
Screw through the outside boards into the 2x4 board once in the top 2x8 board and once in the bottom 2x8 board. 

 Pro Tips
Use untreated cedar for best longevity, however I used fir for a more cost effective version. These may only last me 5 years, BUT the cost of cedar deterred me from going that route. 

Avoid pressure-treated wood unless it’s labeled safe for gardens

Use a garden safe stain on the interior before filling to help with board longevity.
