Marshmallow creme is a smooth, white, spreadable confection. It has a pillowy texture and pronounced vanilla sweetness, spreads easily, and folds cleanly into batters. Cooks use it to frost cakes, fill sandwich cookies, make fudge, and blend into milkshakes or hot chocolate. It is typically sold in shelf-stable jars or tubs.\n\nDeveloped in early 20th-century American confectionery, marshmallow creme evolved from whipped sugar syrups stabilized with egg whites rather than gelatin. It remains popular in New England desserts and sandwich fillings and is manufactured by cooking sugar syrup, then whipping it with albumen and vanilla.
