Ingredients
Egg Whites
- 3 egg whites (90g)
Syrup Mixture
- 1/3 cup water
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
Other Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- pinch fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl fitted with an electric mixer whisk attachment, add the egg whites to ensure no grease can inhibit whipping.
- Heat Syrup Mixture: In a large pot, combine water, honey, and maple syrup carefully, making sure to avoid the sides of the pot. Heat over medium without stirring until the sugar mixture reaches 225°F (107°C).
- Start Whipping Egg Whites: When the syrup hits 225°F, start whipping the egg whites on medium-high speed. When frothy, add cream of tartar and salt, whipping to soft peaks to create a stable base.
- Combine Syrup and Egg Whites: Once the syrup reaches 240°F (115°C), remove from heat. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly and carefully pour the hot syrup in a thin, steady stream between the bowl and whisk to prevent splashing.
- Whip to Desired Texture: Increase the mixer speed and whip for about 8 minutes until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.
- Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and whip for an additional minute to incorporate flavor evenly.
Notes
- Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of grease to achieve maximum volume when whipping egg whites.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the syrup for accurate results.
- Be cautious pouring the hot syrup to avoid burns and splashing.
- Store the marshmallow fluff in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- This fluff is perfect for paleo-friendly desserts, toppings for hot chocolate, or sandwich spreads.
