Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, or until it becomes creamy and fluffy.
Add the marshmallow fluff to the bowl and mix on medium speed until fully combined with the butter.
Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud.
Once all powdered sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Pour in the heavy whipping cream and beat the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the filling becomes light, airy, and spreadable.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or airtight container. If using for Twinkies or similar baked goods, poke small holes into the snack cakes and pipe the filling inside.
Store any unused filling in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip if needed before use.
