Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature before starting.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the marshmallow fluff to the bowl and mix on medium speed until fully combined with the butter. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. This ensures a smooth and lump-free frosting.
Add the vanilla extract, milk or heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until the frosting is fluffy, smooth, and spreadable.
If the consistency is too thick, add a tiny bit more cream or milk (1 teaspoon at a time) until the desired texture is achieved. If it's too thin, mix in a little more powdered sugar.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
