Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup light golden corn syrup
  • 1 egg white, at room temperature
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method
 

Step 1: Combine Syrup and Egg White
  1. Begin by pouring the corn syrup into a mixing bowl. Add the egg white. It’s essential for the fluffiness we want to achieve.
Step 2: Beat Until Frothy
  1. Using an electric mixer, beat the syrup and egg white mixture on medium speed. Keep going until it becomes frothy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Add Extracts and Sugar
  1. Now, it’s time for flavor. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. Then, carefully incorporate the sifted powdered sugar. Go slow to avoid a sugary cloud in your kitchen!
Step 4: Blend Thoroughly
  1. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating the mixture until it thickens. This should take around 5-7 minutes. You want it to be glossy and fluffy.
Step 5: Finish with a Pinch of Salt
  1. Finally, sprinkle in the fine sea salt. Mix for an additional minute. The salt balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Egg Whites: Ensure that your egg whites are at room temperature for best results. They whip up better and create a fluffier texture.
  • Sifting Sugar: Don’t skip sifting the powdered sugar! This eliminates lumps and ensures a smooth final product.
  • Flavor Experimentation: Feel free to try different extracts or even a hint of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist!
  • Storage: Homemade marshmallow creme can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Consistent Mixing: If you see any lumps during mixing, keep going! The motor’s action typically dissolves any unwanted graininess.
