Marshmallow fluff is one of the simplest dessert fillings out there. To make it at home, you just need some marshmallows and a bottle of corn syrup.

You can use any size of marshmallow, but the mini ones melt faster. Melt them in a saucepan on low heat and add corn syrup once the marshmallows are melted.

It should take about 10 minutes of stirring to reach a creamy consistency. A microwave also works if you heat the mixture at 30-second intervals, stirring each time.

Corn syrup is crucial, as it helps the marshmallows retain their soft, spongy texture. This mixture might not be true marshmallow fluff, but the taste and texture are very similar.
