Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, or until it becomes creamy and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the marshmallow fluff to the bowl and mix on medium speed until fully combined with the butter.
Step 4
Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud.
Step 5
Once all powdered sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Step 6
Pour in the heavy whipping cream and beat the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the filling becomes light, airy, and spreadable.
Step 7
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or airtight container. If using for Twinkies or similar baked goods, poke small holes into the snack cakes and pipe the filling inside.
Step 8
Store any unused filling in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip if needed before use.
