While they have similar consistencies and flavor there is one notable difference between creme and fluff. Creme contains cream of tartar while fluff does not, making it ideal for use in fudge. What is a substitute for marshmallow cream? You can make marshmallow cream by melting down marshmallows with corn syrup.

Do marshmallow fluff go bad? Yes, they do. But do you know how to tell if marshmallow fluff is bad? An unopened marshmallow fluff can stay as long as eight months, and this also depends if it is stored in a dark and cool environment.

You can also melt marshmallows in a microwave. Heat them in a large microwave-safe bowl with a couple of tablespoons of water. You'll need to check them every 10 seconds, stirring each time to ensure they melt evenly.

As anyone who's ever made a s'more knows, marshmallows get pretty sticky when melted or cooked. The last thing you want is to accidentally burn yourself with the sticky mixture. Likewise, if you leave melted marshmallows out too long then they'll begin to harden.

The marshmallow needs to be whipped till it makes stiff peaks. At this stage, the marshmallow can hold a soft shape for a moment before collapsing back into itself.

Although it is edible straight from the tub, we recommend combining the Marshmallow Fluff with unsalted butter and icing sugar to make our Whoopie Pie filling. Fluff can be very sticky when used on its own, so this makes the consistency easier to pipe and spread as frosting.

Is marshmallow fluff better than jelly? ›

Despite this change in consistency, marshmallows can remain safe to eat for 6 to 8 months beyond their marked best before date, though their optimal quality may have diminished.

It turns out that freezing marshmallow fluff makes for a tasty, chilled dessert that's similar to ice cream! When marshmallow fluff is frozen, it will get firmer in texture but still maintain scoopability much like ice cream does. The reason it doesn't freeze completely solid is due to its high sugar content.

Place the marshmallow fluff on a baking sheet and spread it as thin and as even as you can with a spatula (this helps toast the maximum amount of fluff). Turn your oven on broil and place the sheet in the oven for about 2-5 minutes depending on how hot your oven is and how much you want it toasted.

Use a kitchen torch to toast the top of the marshmallow fluff. Alternatively, you can place it under your oven's broiler, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
