Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Marshmallow creme (marshmallow fluff)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until it is creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until well combined.
Add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
With the mixer on low speed, pour in the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat the mixture until the filling reaches a silky and spreadable consistency.
Taste the filling and adjust sweetness or vanilla flavor to suit your preference, if necessary.
Transfer the mock creme filling into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip for easy filling of cupcakes. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature and re-whip before use.
