Homemade Marshmallow Creme | Made Without Corn Syrup

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 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.

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.
