Description

Sweet marshmallow icing elevates ordinary desserts with its cloud-like texture and irresistible charm. Creamy, pillowy swirls promise to delight your taste buds and make any cake or cupcake extraordinary.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 jar (7 ounces/198 grams) marshmallow fluff
  • 112 sticks (14 ounces/397 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Utilize an electric mixer to whip butter until it transforms into a pale, billowy consistency, approximately 2 minutes at medium speed.
  2. Methodically incorporate powdered sugar into the butter mixture, blending gradually to prevent lumps and ensure smooth integration.
  3. Introduce vanilla extract and salt, mixing thoroughly until ingredients are completely harmonized.
  4. Gently fold marshmallow fluff into the buttercream, beating at low speed until the texture becomes exceptionally light, airy, and voluminous.
  5. If the icing appears too soft, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to achieve optimal spreading consistency, ensuring it remains spreadable and maintains its delicate structure.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for smoother, lump-free mixing and optimal texture.
  • Use a stand mixer or electric hand mixer to achieve the perfect light and fluffy consistency.
  • Adjust marshmallow fluff quantity for a more intense or subtle marshmallow flavor depending on personal preference.
  • Refrigerate icing briefly if it becomes too soft, which helps maintain stable piping or spreading consistency.
