What it is
This is a sweet, fluffy spread made primarily from corn syrup, sugar, and egg whites. It has a smooth, airy texture and a distinct marshmallow flavor. It is a ready-to-use confection that doesn't require cooking to be enjoyed. Its consistency is similar to thick frosting but lighter and more spreadable. It is often found in the baking aisle of grocery stores.

Marshmallow creme is incredibly easy to use. It can be spread directly onto toast or crackers for a simple sweet treat. For baking, it's often folded into batters for cakes and cookies to add moisture and a subtle marshmallow flavor. It also makes a fantastic base for frostings and dips, providing a light and airy sweetness. It can be whipped with other ingredients to create a fluffy topping for pies or used as a decadent filling between layers of cake or cookies.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike solid marshmallows, this creme is already whipped and ready to spread, eliminating the need for melting. Its smooth texture means it won't have the chewy bits found in melted marshmallows, offering a more uniform sweetness and mouthfeel in applications where a smooth finish is desired.
Who it is for
Home bakers and dessert enthusiasts often reach for this ingredient to simplify sweet preparations.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused marshmallow creme in its original container with the lid tightly sealed. Keep it in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry, to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out or becoming sticky. Refrigeration is not typically necessary for this product.
