Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Homemade Marshmallow Fluff

In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine water, sugar, and light corn syrup. Heat without stirring until it reaches 240°F.
In a stand mixer bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
Remove syrup from heat and slowly drizzle it into the whipped egg whites with the mixer running on low.
Increase mixer speed to medium-high and whip for 7-8 minutes until thick and glossy.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract once desired thickness is achieved.
Cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
