Ingredients
To make Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting, you’ll need:
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or mini marshmallows melted)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (finely mashed or pureed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the strawberries. Mash or blend them into a smooth puree. If they’re very juicy, you can lightly strain or simmer them briefly to reduce excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Add the marshmallow fluff and continue beating until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour in the strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat everything together until smooth and evenly combined. The frosting should be soft, airy, and slightly glossy.
If the frosting feels too soft, you can refrigerate it for 15–20 minutes to help it firm up slightly before using.
Spread or pipe onto cakes, cupcakes, or desserts as desired.
