When I made the chocolate cream filled cupcakes in the previous post I just happened to have a jar of marshmallow fluff in my pantry. It appears that it is no longer available for purchase in Tokyo. I need some for some cupcakes I am making for a 2 year old’s birthday this weekend. How did we ever live without Google?

3 large egg whites
2 cups light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups powdered sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

This will expand enough in a 4-quart mixing bowl to make you nervous so if you have a bigger bowl you should use it.

In a large mixer bowl, use a whisk attachment to combine eggwhites, corn syrup and salt. Beat for 10 minutes until thick.

Add powdered sugar at a low speed to thoroughly incorporate. Add vanilla extract and beat until well blended.
