For the Fluff

1 cup Water Essential for dissolving sugar and creating the syrupy base.
2 cups Sugar The sweet star of the show, providing structure.
1 cup Light Corn Syrup Prevents crystallization, ensuring your fluff stays smooth and silky.
4 large Egg Whites These are the magic behind the fluff's airy texture.
1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar A little stabilizer that helps the egg whites reach their peak fluffiness.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds a rich flavor; feel free to swap with almond extract for a twist.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Marshmallow Fluff

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 2 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of light corn syrup. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, without stirring. Ensure it reaches a temperature of 240°F.
While the syrup is heating, in a mixing bowl, add 4 egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to whip until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully drizzle the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites while the mixer runs on medium speed, avoiding splashes.
Increase the mixing speed to medium-high and beat for 7-8 minutes until the mixture is thick and holds stiff peaks.
Gently stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to introduce flavor.
Transfer the fluff into an airtight container and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Store sealed for up to two weeks.
