Marshmallow Fluff Frosting

Megan Weimer
Sweet, fluffy, and super creamy, this marshmallow fluff frosting is an easy way to level up any dessert. Marshmallow fluff gives it that classic, nostalgic flavor. It comes together quickly, pipes like a dream, and adds a cloud-like texture to cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and more.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 226 grams unsalted butter 2 sticks, room temperature
  • 200 grams marshmallow fluff
  • 300 grams powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy for about 2 minutes.
    226 grams unsalted butter
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then mix in the marshmallow fluff on medium speed until smooth.
    200 grams marshmallow fluff
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, in 2-3 additions, mixing on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
    300 grams powdered sugar
  • Add the vanilla and salt, then increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Beat for 2-3 minutes or until the frosting is thick, fluffy, and easy to spread or pipe.
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Transfer to a piping bag or spread directly onto cooled cakes, cupcakes, or cookies!

Notes

  • If you have a 7.5 ounce jar of fluff, use the whole thing.
  • If the frosting is too thin, refrigerate for 30 minutes. You can also add extra powdered sugar (or cornstarch), 1 tablespoon at a time, until thickened.
  • If the frosting is too thick, mix in milk or cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until smooth.
  • This recipe makes enough to frost 12 cupcakes or a 6-8 inch two-layer cake.
  • I used this frosting on these root beer cupcakes!
