Instructions
Measure and Prepare Ingredients
Gather all ingredients, measure them into separate containers, and set the mixing bowl aside.
Time: PT2M
Bloom the Gelatin
Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small cup and let it sit for 5 minutes until it swells.
Time: PT5M
Make the Hot Sugar Syrup
In the saucepan combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Place over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolves, then attach the candy thermometer and bring the mixture to 240°F (soft‑ball stage).
Time: PT10M
Temperature: 240°F
Whip Egg Whites to Soft Peaks
While the syrup is heating, separate the egg whites into the mixing bowl, add the cream of tartar, and begin whipping on medium speed until the whites become foamy and form soft peaks.
Time: PT5M
Combine Syrup and Egg Whites
When the syrup reaches 240°F, turn the mixer to high and slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the egg whites in a thin, steady stream, aiming for the side of the bowl to avoid splatter. Continue beating until the mixture becomes glossy and holds stiff peaks.
Time: PT5M

Add the vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds just to incorporate.

Transfer the marshmallow fluff to an airtight container. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to set, then refrigerate if not using immediately.
