Ingredients
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Water
- 6 pieces Large egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 2
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature and cook until it reaches 240°F (soft ball stage). Do not stir while the syrup is boiling.
Step 3
While the sugar syrup is heating, place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
Step 4
Beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Once the sugar syrup reaches 240°F, remove it from the heat. With the mixer running on medium-low speed, slowly and carefully drizzle the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites in a thin, steady stream. Be sure to pour near the side of the bowl to avoid splashing.
Step 6
Once all the syrup is added, increase the mixer speed to high and continue whipping until the mixture is thick, glossy, and has cooled to room temperature, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 7
Add the vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds to incorporate.
Step 8
Transfer the marshmallow fluff to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
