Mock Buttercream with Marshmallow Fluff
A very simple icing perfect for piping on top of cupcakes.
Servings 30
Ingredients
- 3 sticks 12 oz unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 16 oz of Marshmallow Fluff or Marshmallow Creme.
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat until creamy, then add the vanilla.
- Add the Marshmallow Fluff (or Marshmallow Creme) and beat until fluffy.
- Put in a piping bag and pipe on top of cupcakes
- In my opinion, it worked the best on cupcakes. It was fine on a layer cake, but the texture isn't as smooth when spread and it seems to work better when piped out in dollops.
Notes
If you're making a small batch of cupcakes or just want to ice 12, scale the recipe down and use 1 stick butter, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of sugar, and a dash of vanilla. Weigh out 5 ⅓ ounces of marshmallow creme using a scale.
