By now I think we all know that I am a frosting fan. I love to make the stuff and I really love to eat it! I mean that is the whole point of making a cake, isn't it? I feel like it is hard to go wrong with deliciously plain old buttercream, but sometimes you want to amp it up a bit, am I right? The super light and fluffy white chocolate buttercream is an excellent example.
I have been in a fall baking mood already. I know, it doesn't make sense when it is still in the 90s with something around a million percent humidity. But, I can't help it! So, I was baking some pumpkin spice cookie bars and knew I wanted something fun to go on top. Marshmallow buttercream seemed like just the right thing!
This frosting does taste like marshmallow and it has a little bit of that elasticity. It definitely fit the bill for this dessert!
Marshmallow Buttercream
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 7oz tub of marshmallow fluff
- In your mixer bowl, cream you butter until it is light and fluffy.
- Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and marshmallow fluff. Mix on medium for about 2 minutes.
- Get ready to have your socks knocked off.
I never thought to use marshmallow fluff in frosting - but now it really makes sense! I'm pinning both this and the White Chocolate Buttercream - but I will have to wait to try them until after I make your Brownie Mix Puppy Chow!
ReplyDeleteSo many good recipes - thank you!
Thank you so much, Susan! We are headed into birthday season in my family, so we have plenty of excuses to make a lot of fun treats.
DeleteWow!! This looks so simple to make, and for sure fits the bill for cakes, cup cakes, and cookies. Just what I need for my sweet tooth. Thanks I'll pin this one for the future!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you love it!
DeleteCarlee, I love marshmallow frosting, and yours sounds delicious! We're also having 90 degree weather and crazy 95% humidity, so I can't shake the summer posts just yet. I'm willing myself to make an autumn-themed dessert next week. I'll look to you for inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteWe have had a really nice break from the heat the last day or two, so that has only made me more ready. Of course it is supposed to be mid to upper 80s again next week. It has been really strange training myself to make stuff a season or holiday ahead when I can. This blogging stuff is hard work! ;-)
DeleteLooks deeeelish :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYum Carlee! I'm a frosting addict and love trying new kinds. I'm a buttercream addict as well. Can't wait to give this one a try. Got a few of my kids birthdays coming up so this will come in handy!
ReplyDeleteMe too! More frosting = more better!! I hope you love this one.
DeleteThis looks amazing, and I absolutely love marshmallows, will definitely have to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing with OMHG Wordless Wednesday Link Party. Co-host Evija, From Evija with Love xx
ReplyDeleteThis definitely tastes like marshmallows, so I think you'll love it! Thanks for hosting and for stopping by!
DeleteYou know Carlee I only started making buttercream a couple of years ago when my son got engaged and I made their engagement cake. Now I make it all the time however I love the marshmallow idea. Thanks for sharing with us at #WednesdaysWisdom. Always love your posts.
ReplyDeleteI love buttercream! As a kid I loved the frosting in the can, but now I can't even look at it now that I know how easy it is to make all these different frostings that are so much better! Thank you for hosting!
DeleteI love buttercream and I have never thought about adding marshmallow fluff to it. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing at Inspiration Thursday! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love buttercream too! The marshmallow really adds a nice flavor and texture. Frosting is one of my favorite things to play with!
DeleteI've never thought about marshmallow icing...I too am a lover of icing, and will be trying this one pronto! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it!
DeleteI have to try this...a great recipe to Pin! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteOoooh this sounds heavenly! I don't know why I never thought of adding fluff to my buttercream recipe! Makes so much sense.
ReplyDeleteIt really does add something to the frosting!
DeleteOh man I love marshmallow! I can only imagine how fluffy it makes buttercream frosting, yum! Thanks for another great frosting recipe, I guess I need to make some cupcakes :) PS I've also started baking for fall, we still have the heat but no humidity and I can't get enough pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! I thought this would be a fun twist to go with pumpkin (which I can definitely eat year round!) We have had a beautiful week here, but it is getting ready to warm back up next week.
DeleteI almost always so the same basic butter cream, I might just vary the flavour a little, I really must start being a bit more adventurous with my icing - I'm pinning ready, I just need to pick up some of the fluff stuff next time I'm shopping!
ReplyDeleteButtercream is so good on it's own, so I can see why you wouldn't change it up much. I can't help myself when it comes to frosting! I hope you love it!
DeleteO!!!! M!!!! G!!!!! Made this the other night to top a plain ol' chocolate cake, and THE RESULT WAS SUBLIME!!! This has now become my "go to" icing recipe!!! You get the wonderful flavor of traditional butter cream (which is "the ONLY icing" in my husband and my opinion) while loosing some of the sickeningly sweet richness and density. You wouldn't think that when you are using Marshmallow fluff, but it's true!!!
ReplyDelete:-) I am so happy you loved it!
DeleteThere is nothing like a great Buttercream , this looks awesome! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCome Back Soon!
Miz Helen
I completely agree! As a kid I loved the stuff in the can at the store, now I can't imagine going back to that.
