Homemade Eggless Marshmallow Fluff Recipe Highlights
My daughter is a BIG fan of marshmallows, so she always wanted to try Marshmallow Fluff. Of course, the store-bought version has eggs in it, so I had to come up with a Homemade Eggless Marshmallow Crème recipe. I am so happy I did…this Homemade Eggless Marshmallow Crème is one of her all-time favorites! It’s stretchy, sticky, dense, and totally irresistible! This homemade egg-free marshmallow fluff is relatively easy to make with just a few ingredients. We mostly use it to make sandwiches and fill cupcakes, but there are so many delicious ways to enjoy this Homemade Eggless Marshmallow Fluff (see more ideas on how to use it below).
Marshmallow Crème or Fluff vs. Meringue
Marshmallow Crème is a stretchy, sticky, and dense cream. Its texture is similar to melted marshmallows. On the other hand, meringue is a more light, fluffy, and airy mixture. It holds its form perfectly, which makes it perfect for piping. If you’re looking to make more of a fluffy and less dense pipeable meringue, check out my Eggless Meringue recipe.
Ingredients Notes & Substitutions
Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down). You’ll need:
Aquafaba: Aquafaba is just the liquid that we usually discard from a can of beans. This liquid emulates the unmistakably fluffy texture of whipped egg whites. Want to know more about aquafaba? Check this out! Cream of tartar: Cream of tartar stabilizes the aquafaba and helps the mixture whip. It’s a necessary ingredient, and I do not recommend skipping it or substituting it.Sugar: Regular white granulated sugar o caster sugar.WaterVanilla extract: For optimal flavor, reach for pure vanilla instead of imitation. Even better, try homemade vanilla extract!

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down). 1 – Make the sugar syrup 2 – Whip the aquafaba and cream of tartar 3 – Carefully add the sugar syrup to the whipped aquafaba 4 – Continue whipping until thick and glossy
You will need a thermometer to make this. I like this one because it has a pot clip. Use caution when making the sugar syrup as it will be very hot!! Once again, be very careful when pouring the sugar syrup into the mixer. It’s IMPORTANT that you pour the stream right between the whisk and the sides of the bowl (see photo above) so the syrup doesn’t get splashed by the whisk. If you’re looking to make more of a fluffy and less dense pipeable meringue, check out my Eggless Meringue recipe.
