How to Make Homemade Marshmallow Fluff
Marshmallow fluff is a spreadable marshmallow cream that is used in making different types of sandwiches, pies and cakes. The reason is that it is almost identical to Italian meringue. It looks like a fluffed up and sweetened cloud and probably that’s why it is also known as “Angels food”.
The best thing about marshmallow is that you can make it easily at home. All you need is to get a candy thermometer and a stand mixer. Spend a few minutes mixing all the ingredients and your marshmallow fluff is good to go.
You can use it in making peanut butter sandwiches, moon pies or some special fluff cake. You may add spoonful of marshmallow fluff in hot cocoa and enjoy this perfect blend of cream and chocolate. However, you can also eat it alone as it is full of nutritional elements.
