1/4 cup marshmallow fluff (or cream)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1/4 cup mini marshmallows (for toasting)
directions
-
Toast the marshmallows: Place mini marshmallows on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Broil for 1–2 minutes until golden brown, or use a kitchen torch to achieve the same effect. Watch carefully, as marshmallows toast quickly.
-
Heat the milk and cream: In a small saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over medium heat, whisking gently, until warmed through but not boiling.
-
Add marshmallows and fluff: Stir in the toasted marshmallows and marshmallow fluff, whisking until completely melted and smooth.
-
Add extracts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts for that full, rich flavor.
-
Cool and store: Allow the creamer to cool to room temperature, then pour it into a mason jar or airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Shake well before using.
