| Light corn syrup | 3 cups |
| Salt | 2 pinches |

Instructions:
-
Whip Egg Whites and Corn Syrup: In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, light corn syrup, and a pinch of salt. Using a mixer set to high speed, beat the mixture for approximately 10 minutes or until it becomes thick and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving that light and airy texture characteristic of marshmallow fluff. 🥚🌪️
-
Incorporate Icing Sugar: Gradually add the icing sugar to the mixture, beating on low speed until it’s fully incorporated. This will help sweeten the fluff while also stabilizing its texture. 🍰
-
Add Vanilla Extract: Once the icing sugar is blended in, pour in the vanilla extract. Continue to beat the mixture until the vanilla is evenly distributed throughout. The vanilla adds a delightful flavor that complements the sweetness of the fluff. 🍦

Store or Use Immediately: Your homemade marshmallow fluff is now ready to use! You can incorporate it into any recipe that calls for marshmallow creme. Whether you’re spreading it on toast, swirling it into brownie batter, or dolloping it onto hot cocoa, the possibilities are endless. 🍞🍫☕

Storage Tips: If you find yourself with extra fluff, don’t worry! It can be stored for later use. Simply transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Before using it, give it a good stir with a spoon to ensure it’s evenly mixed. Alternatively, you can freeze the fluff for longer-term storage. Just remember to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and stir well before using. 🥄❄️
Additional Notes:
- For a slightly darker color and a richer flavor, you can substitute dark corn syrup for the light corn syrup in this recipe. It will still yield excellent results and work just as well in your favorite recipes. 🌽🍯
