🥘 Ingredients

5 items

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup marshmallow creme (marshmallow fluff)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter and beat it with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until creamy and light.

2. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency.

3. Add the marshmallow creme to the butter mixture and continue to beat on medium speed until the mixture is well-combined and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

4. Mix in the vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds to evenly distribute the flavor.

5. Add the heavy whipping cream, one tablespoon at a time, and beat on high speed after each addition until the filling is light, airy, and pipeable, about 1-2 additional minutes.

6. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a small tip. Use immediately to fill cakes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and rewhip slightly before using if needed.
