What the AI looks for in Marshmallow Spreads
- Animal ingredients
- Check for egg whites or gelatin. Most cremes use egg whites, so they are gelatin-free but not vegan.
- Recipe compatibility
- Recipes that call for 'marshmallow creme' expect a creme, not melted marshmallows. Fudge and frosting recipes are formulated around a creme's sugar and moisture content.
- Flavour
- Original vanilla or flavoured versions. Flavoured cremes can clash in baking recipes.
Brands that matter
- Durkee-Mower (Marshmallow Fluff): The original creme, made with egg whites.
- Kraft Jet-Puffed: A widely sold marshmallow creme.
- Suzanne's Specialties: Vegan, rice-syrup-based Ricemellow Creme.
What to avoid
- Swapping melted marshmallows into recipes that call for creme without adjusting the recipe
Questions
