Marshmallow & White Chocolate Frosting | Chefs At Heart

A frosting that feels fluffy and tastes yummy and so easy to make

Who doesn’t like marshmallow? When some white chocolate is added into it, it tastes even better! This is one of my favourite frostings when it comes to cake decorating.

Why? Because is:

  • Fluffy
  • Yummy
  • Quick
  • & a Cheaper version of frosting i.e. marshmallow vs butter frosting is just a fraction of the price

It takes about 30 mins to be made and can be easily manipulated and that can be applicable to a range of uses: from simple frosting to more complex such as flowers.

My standard size cake is a 4 tiers 6 inch / 15 cm cake. For that I usually put
⭐️ 2 x 500 gr marshmallows
⭐️ 1/2 white chocolate
⭐️ 1 kg icing sugar

⭐️ a splash of water

⭐️ some food colour
