Marshmallow Buttercream is a remarkably light and fluffy frosting that is easy to make using only four simple ingredients. With its perfect level of sweetness, it is ideal for topping cakes and cupcakes, as well as filling sandwich cookies.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, (softened)
  • 4 cups (500 g) confectioners' sugar
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 jars (7 ounces each) marshmallow creme or fluff

Directions

  1. 1

    To a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add butter. Mix on medium speed until the butter is light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add in almond extract.

  3. 3

    Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, about a ½ cup at a time. Once all is added, mix on high for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Once fully combined, gently fold the marshmallow creme into the frosting by hand. Can be used immediately or refrigerated until ready to use.
