This easy-to-make Fluffy Marshmallow Frosting is spreadable, pipe-able and all around glossy and gorgeous! Add the egg whites, granulated sugar, cream of tarter, and salt to a heat-safe bowl of an stand mixer. Set the bowl over a saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water.
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl often. When all sugar has been added, the frosting will appear dry. Add marshmallow fluff; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. This buttercream recipe is great for filling layered cakes, frosting cupcakes, and piping decorations.
The result is a versatile buttercream that is thick and sturdy, meaning it holds its shape piped atop a cupcake and sandwiched between cookies, like a true hero. With three or four common baking ingredients and the help of a stand mixer or hand mixer, it will take less than five minutes for this marshmallow fluff buttercream to become your reality.
Vanilla Extract: Classic marshmallow flavor is made with vanilla so adding it to this buttercream will help enhance the flavor that the marshmallow fluff brings. Salt: As with everything else, salt brings out all of the flavors present and gives balance to prevent an overly sweet taste.
