Marshmallow Whipped Cream Recipe - The Recipe Critic (2024)

Two of my favorite things combined: marshmallow fluff and fresh whipped cream! It’s perfect for adding to your favorite desserts, and is so good, you’ll want to eat it straight from the bowl.

Homemade frosting can take an already delicious dessert to the next level. A few more must-make recipes: stabilized whipped cream, white chocolate buttercream, and royal icing!

Whipped Marshmallow Cream

Forget boring whipped cream, this dreamy marshmallow version takes things to cloud nine. It’s like your favorite marshmallow fluff got whipped up into the silkiest, pillowy goodness. Every dollop has subtle vanilla flavor, and you can adjust the sweetness with a bit of powdered sugar.

In addition to eating it straight out of the bowl, pile this marshmallow whipped cream on cakes and pies for an instant upgrade, dollop it onto hot chocolate for some creaminess, or use it as a fruit dip! Trust me, once you get a taste of this fluffy magic, you’ll be adding it to all of your favorite desserts.

4 Ingredients to Make It

Mix up these 4 ingredients, and you’ll have the perfect fluffy frosting that makes any dessert a million times better!

• Marshmallow Fluff: This key ingredient adds sweetness, light-as-air texture, and a distinct marshmallow flavor to the whipped cream. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your desired level of marshmallow intensity – more fluff means even dreamier peaks! You can buy premade marshmallow creme or make your own.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Make sure it’s chilled for optimal results. Chilling helps the cream whip up faster and creates stiffer, more stable peaks.
• Vanilla Extract (Optional): A dash of vanilla extract adds a subtle warm and sweet note that complements the marshmallow flavor beautifully. However, it’s entirely optional and the whipped cream will still be delicious without it. You could also add almond extract for some nuttiness!
• Powdered Sugar (Optional): Powdered sugar dissolves instantly into the marshmallow whipped cream, leaving a smooth and creamy texture. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking, starting with a smaller amount and adding more to taste.

How to Make Marshmallow Whipped Cream

It’s super easy! Just make sure you’re using chilled heavy cream, or it won’t whip up properly. Sometimes I even like to stick my mixing bowl and mixing attachments/whisk in the freezer beforehand to make sure I get the right texture.

1. Add Fluff and Cream to Bowl: Add the marshmallow fluff and cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. If desired, add the vanilla and powdered sugar.
2. Whip: Whip on medium-high speed until you have medium-stiff peaks.
3. Use or Store for Later: Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Then use to top cakes, pies, cheesecakes, hot chocolate, or even as a dessert dip.
