For the Marshmallow Fluff
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 large egg whites Ensure to achieve soft peaks.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can be swapped with other flavorings.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather your mixing bowl, soft whisk or stand mixer, and saucepan.
Cooking
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir gently until the sugars dissolve.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil until it reaches a soft-ball stage (240°F / 115°C).
  3. While the sugar mixture is cooking, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt to your mixing bowl and whisk until soft peaks form.
  4. Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while whisking continuously.
  5. Once combined, add the vanilla extract and whisk for a few more minutes until the mixture cools to room temperature and forms stiff peaks.
Serving
  1. Use the fluff immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
