From creamy fruit dip and classic no-bake cheesecake to dreamy fudge and fluffy frosting, these marshmallow creme recipes are completely irresistible.

Nothing swirls, spreads or steals the spotlight quite like marshmallow creme. With its airy texture and mellow vanilla flavor, this retro ingredient stars in everything from no-bake fudge to fruity dips. It can be folded into whipped frostings, spooned over pies or melted into chewy bars. No matter the recipe, marshmallow creme brings its signature lightness and gooey pull, adding a soft finish that never goes out of style.

These dessert recipes really showcase how sticky Marshmallow Fluff adds structure, richness and just the right amount of sweetness. Treats like strawberry fruit dip or creme-filled croissants highlight its softness, while desserts like fudge, no-bake blueberry cheesecake or s’more cakes rely on it to hold their shape. We made sure to include these recipes alongside plenty of party-ready dishes, including cakes with marshmallow frosting, Fluffernutter brownies and fruit pies.

If you find yourself with a little left over, save it for other ways to use marshmallow creme. Most no-bake desserts can be finished with a tall swirl of marshmallow creme as an easy, simple topping that really elevates. It’s also great on soda, cookies or sweet potatoes, and it can even be used in place of vanilla extract in no-churn ice cream.

Recipes with Marshmallow Fluff FAQ

What can I do with a jar of Marshmallow Fluff?

Ways to use up a jar of marshmallow creme include making Fluffernutter sandwiches, swirling it into a batch of brownies, torching it onto baked sweet potatoes or using it in Rice Krispies treats variations. It is also the secret ingredient for no-cook fudge and makes a creamy topping for bubbly drinks, like root beer or homemade butterbeer. I also like to use it as a dip for Oreos, Reese’s, strawberries and mini chocolate bars, then take a torch to it for a fun twist on s’mores.

Can I substitute marshmallow creme for melted marshmallows?

Yes, you can substitute marshmallow creme for melted marshmallows in no-bake desserts, sandwich-style cookies and whipped toppings. It’s great in recipes like whoopie pie filling, fruit dip or fudge-based frosting, where a creamy consistency is key. However, since it doesn’t contain gelatin, it won’t firm up like melted marshmallows, so it’s not ideal for recipes that need structure, like layered cereal bars or molded candies. To help it hold its shape better, you can reduce other liquid ingredients slightly or mix in a small amount of cornstarch or softened cream cheese for added stability.

How do I store desserts made with marshmallow creme?

Store desserts made with marshmallow creme in airtight containers at room temperature, unless they include perishable ingredients like cream cheese, whipped topping or fresh fruit, in which case they need to be refrigerated. To prevent sticking or drying out, place waxed paper or parchment between stacked layers. Some treats, such as Marshmallow Fluff-based fudges or no-bake bars that use marshmallow creme, can also be frozen; just wrap them tightly in storage wrap and foil to help preserve their texture. Let frozen treats thaw at room temperature to minimize condensation and avoid sogginess.

What flavor pairings go well with marshmallow creme?

Marshmallow creme pairs well with bold or contrasting flavors that help cut its sweetness, such as tart berries, citrus zest, dark chocolate or peanut butter. Fruits like raspberries and lemon add a tangy lift, while slightly bitter or salty ingredients, such as cocoa powder, espresso, pretzels or toasted nuts, create balance and depth. Even herbs and spices like mint or cinnamon can bring a surprising dimension when paired with Marshmallow Fluff in frostings, dips or layered desserts.
