🕒 1. Can I make Homemade Marshmallow Creme ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare Homemade Marshmallow Creme up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge. When ready to use, re-whip it briefly to bring back its fluffiness.

❄️ 2. Can I freeze Homemade Marshmallow Creme?

No. Freezing changes the smooth, fluffy texture of Homemade Marshmallow Creme . The sugar and egg whites can separate or crystallize, making it weep when thawed.

🎂 3. Can I pipe Homemade Marshmallow Creme like frosting?

Yes. Homemade Marshmallow Creme holds simple piped designs, like swirls and dollops, but it’s softer than buttercream. It’s perfect for cupcakes and cakes with a rustic or toasted look.

🔥 4. Can I toast Homemade Marshmallow Creme with a torch?

Definitely! Use a kitchen torch to add a toasted finish. The sugars in Homemade Marshmallow Creme caramelize beautifully—just don’t use a broiler, which can melt the topping completely.

🧁 5. What desserts go best with Homemade Marshmallow Creme?

Cupcakes, cakes, s’mores, brownies, and even fruit platters! Homemade Marshmallow Creme is extremely versatile and makes a stunning dip, topping, or filling.
