    Cream Cheese Marshmallow Frosting


    Source of Recipe



    List of Ingredients




    3 tablespoons water
    1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
    1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
    1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and reserved
    2 large egg whites
    Pinch salt
    Pinch cream of tartar
    8 ounces cream cheese, slightly softened
    1 stick unsalted butter, slightly softened
    1 pound organic powdered sugar, sifted twice
    2 cups Fluff
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe



    In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, corn syrup, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar and vanilla bean to 246 degrees F. Before adding the syrup to the egg whites below, carefully remove the vanilla bean.

    In the meantime, in a completely clean, dry mixing bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until the whites hold very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. While mixing on slow speed, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Turn the mixer to high and whisk until thick, fluffy and just warm, about 7 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the reserved vanilla seeds. Scrape the fluff into a bowl. Wash the bowl and whisk and return them to the machine.

    Combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of the mixer and mix until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Increase the speed and whip until light and fluffy. Add about 2 cups of Fluff and the vanilla and whip until combined. Refrigerate for 15 minutes if too soft to use as frosting.
