This Marshmallow Cream Frosting is a light, fluffy, and sweet topping perfect for cupcakes and other desserts. Made with marshmallow creme, softened unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, it whips up quickly into a smooth and creamy frosting that adds a delightful texture and taste to your baked goods.

Ingredients

Frosting Ingredients

  • 2 - 7 oz. containers of marshmallow creme
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Whisk Marshmallow Creme: Use a spatula to empty all of the marshmallow creme into a mixing bowl. Whisk the marshmallow creme in the bowl of a standing mixer for 1 minute to aerate it and create a smooth consistency.
  2. Add Butter Gradually: Add softened unsalted butter in 1-2 tablespoon increments, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl several times during this process to ensure even mixing.
  3. Incorporate Vanilla and Sugar: Once all the butter is mixed in, add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Beat the mixture until all ingredients are completely combined and the frosting is light and fluffy.
  4. Use the Frosting: Pipe or spread the marshmallow cream frosting onto cooled cupcakes or your preferred desserts for a delightful finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is fully softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth frosting texture.
  • Use cooled cupcakes or desserts to prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off.
  • You can adjust the powdered sugar amount slightly to achieve desired sweetness and consistency.
  • Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature and re-whip before using again.
