What it is

Marshmallow creme is a sweet, spreadable confection made primarily from corn syrup, sugar, and egg whites. Water and flavorings like vanilla are also common ingredients. It is typically produced by whipping egg whites with a sugar syrup until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use marshmallow creme as a sweetener and texturizer. Its smooth, creamy consistency makes it ideal for frostings, fillings, and as a topping. It is frequently found in cakes, cupcakes, candies, and fudge.

Health notes

Marshmallow creme is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of sugar and corn syrup, which are sources of calories and carbohydrates. Excessive consumption of added sugars may contribute to health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar ingredients, but no specific evaluations for 'marshmallow creme' as a distinct ingredient are commonly cited.

Allergen info

Marshmallow creme contains egg whites, which are one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten, soy, or any of the other major allergens unless added separately.
