Ingredients
  

For the Fluff
  • 1/4 cup Water Use filtered water for best results.
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup Honey or agave syrup can be used as a substitute but may alter flavor.
  • 2 large Egg Whites Ensure they are at room temperature for optimal whipping.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Lemon juice can be used as a substitute if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla extract for the best taste in your Homemade Marshmallow Fluff.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand or Stand Mixer
  • candy thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, mix together 1/4 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of light corn syrup. Place over medium heat and avoid stirring until it reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add 2 large egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. Whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Once the syrup hits 240°F, remove from heat. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites.
  4. Increase mixer speed to high and whip for 7-8 minutes until thickened and glossy, forming stiff peaks.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and fold it in with a spatula to enhance the flavor. Let it cool before using.

Notes

Ensure all bowls and mixers are grease-free; residue can prevent egg whites from whipping properly. For perfect texture, invest in a candy thermometer, and make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before whipping.
