Marshmallow Fluff Cupcake Recipes

MARSHMALLOW CUPCAKES | HOSTESS CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and have ready two 12-cup muffin tins lined with baking cups.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
• Add the sugar and eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. If you do not have a stand mixer, use a large mixing bowl and a handheld mixer.
• Mix on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until visibly lightened in color and thickened.
• Add the oil and vanilla and mix until evenly incorporated.
• Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix on low until evenly incorporated. Then, add half of the milk and mix again.
• Add the remaining dry ingredients, mix on low, and add the remaining mill. Mix until evenly incorporated. Using a spoon, scrape down the side of the bowl and mix once more.
• Fill the baking cups just under half-way full, and transfer to the oven. Bake for 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking process.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, cut a small cone shape out of the center of each cupcake, remove the liners and place on a large sheet of wax paper.
• Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip (e.g. Wilton #12), and fill with marshmallow creme. Pipe creme into the cavity of the cupcakes.
• Heat the melting wafer according to package directions. Add a generous spoonful of chocolate to the top of each cupcake and smooth over with the back of the spoon, and place 3 miniature marshmallows in the center of each cupcake.
• Set cupcakes aside for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and allow the chocolate to set. Serve and enjoy!

MARSHMALLOW-FILLED S'MORES CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until completely smooth. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently stir - about 5 stirs. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just* combined; do not overmix. The batter won't be very thick.
• Pour/spoon the batter into the liners - fill only halfway to avoid spilling over the sides. Bake in batches for 18-19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before continuing.
• In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, marshmallow creme, vanilla, and cream on medium speed until completely smooth. Add 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and the salt slowly with the mixer running on low, then increase the speed to high and beat for 1 minute. If it looks too thin, add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate the filling until ready to use.
• Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder to assure there are no lumps. Set aside. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy - about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sifted sugar/cocoa powder alternately with the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat on low speed after each addition. Once all added, beat on high speed until creamy and combined for at least 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. Set aside until ready to use.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a circle/hole into the center of the cupcake to create a little pocket about 3/4 inch deep. Place 1 spoonful (a little more than 1 teaspoon) of marshmallow filling inside and top with the piece of cupcake you removed to seal. See photos above for visual. Repeat with all cupcakes. You will likely have leftover filling. It's great sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies.
• Frost the cupcakes however you like. I used my Wilton 1M swirl piping tip. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
• Toast the marshmallows on a large baking sheet on one of the top oven racks with your oven on broil. They brown almost immediately, so don't leave the room! Once browned, quickly remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Scoop from the baking sheet using a spatula and place on top of the frosted cupcakes. Enjoy immediately while the marshmallows are nice and gooey.

MARSHMALLOW FLUFF CUPCAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C/Gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
• Beat together the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Gradually add in the eggs until just combined.
• Add 2 tbsp of Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff and gently fold in the flour, then milk and vanilla extract.
• Divide the mixture into the muffin cases.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until well risen and springy to the touch then cool completely on a wire rack.
• To make the Marshmallow Fluff butter cream frosting, beat together the softened butter, icing sugar and milk until smooth.
• Gradually add the Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff large spoonfuls at a time, until all is incorporated.
• Transfer the frosting into a piping bag with a large nozzle and pipe in swirls over the cooled cupcakes.

PEPPERMINT CUPCAKES WITH MARSHMALLOW FLUFF WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Beat white sugar and 1 cup butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix peppermint extract, almond extract, and food coloring into creamed butter mixture.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix flour mixture, alternating with 3/4 cup milk, into creamed butter mixture, ending with flour mixture, until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Allow melted white chocolate to cool to room temperature.
• Mix marshmallow fluff and 1/2 cup butter together in a bowl until smooth. Stir melted white chocolate into marshmallow mixture. Add confectioners sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, to marshmallow mixture until fully incorporated; add enough milk to reach desired consistency. Transfer frosting to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped and pipe frosting onto each cupcake.

MARSHMALLOW FROSTING RECIPE

Steps:

• Beat butter and powdered sugar until fluffy and well mixed.
• Mix in fluff and vanilla by hand and mix well.
• Add to piping bag and pipe onto cupcakes.

HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOW CREME (FROSTING)

Steps:

• Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a heatproof bowl. Set bowl over a saucepan filled with two inches of simmering water. Do not let it touch the water. (You can use a double boiler if you have one.)
• Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture has thinned out, about 4 minutes. The mixture will be thick and tacky at first, then thin out and appear frothy on top. To test that it's ready, you can use your finger or an instant read thermometer. Lightly and quickly dip your finger (it's very hot, be careful) and rub the mixture between your thumb and finger. You shouldn't feel any sugar granules. If using a thermometer, the temperature should read 160°F (71°C).
• Remove from heat. (No need to let it cool down before continuing.) Add the vanilla extract, then using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat on high speed until stiff glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes.
• Meringue can be spread, piped, or swirled onto cakes, cupcakes, and other confections. Serve immediately OR torch it with a kitchen torch for a delicious toasted marshmallow topping. (Do not place in the oven under the broiler- it will melt.)
• Cover and store leftovers for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Baked goods topped with this marshmallow meringue can be left at room temperature for up to 6-8 hours. After that, it's best to refrigerate or else the topping will begin to wilt. For best taste, texture, and appearance, I do not recommend freezing this.
