Marshmallow Butter-Cream Frosting

I made 1/2 the recipe. My husband loved it . Just being the two of us I often make a square cake for us. He requested Marshmallow icing thinking I could not do it. Just so happened I bought marshmallow topping for his ice cream so looked this one up and I'm telling you he lick the bowl clean.

The absolute best frosting ever! I am not a fan of frosting at all. However, I like whipped because it is so light, but buttercream decorates beautifully. This was a prefect happy medium. It decorates well and it is so light and fluffy without being too sweet! I also tried it with 1 cup cocoa powder to make chocolate. It was wonderful as well!


Marshmallow Butter-Cream Frosting

INGRIDIENTS

1/3 c. softened butter (do not use margarine!)
1/3 c. powdered sugar
1 – 7 oz. jar marshmallow creme
Dash of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and powdered sugar and salt on high speed until fluffy. Add the marshmallow cream and mix on low speed just until it is well incorporated. (Don’t over-beat or it will go flat and will not stay fluffy.)

Use to frost cake or sugar cookies (or if you want to be really lazy, just sandwich it between 2 graham crackers!) It stays pretty soft and gooey (which is what makes it so good), but be aware that they don’t stack very well. If you are making a bunch, frost the cookies just before serving or arranging them on a platter.

Refrigerate any leftovers and use within 3-4 days.
