This Marshmallow Whipped Cream is more than just whipped cream. It’s a dip, a pancake topping, a frosting, and something you hide in the back of the refrigerator so you can eat it with a spoon and not have to share.
For me, sightseeing is not complete without trying all the food that a place has to offer. My list of must-eateries in Maui was long…and we worked our way through most of them.
One of my favorite places to eat was The Gazebo in the Napili Beach area. I’d heard wonderful things about their pancakes and fried rice, so that’s what I ordered, and I demolished them. You would have too, see how good they looked?
When you look at that photo, you’ll notice a huge gob of what looks like butter on top of the pancakes. You guys, it wasn’t butter. It’s The Gazebo’s “secret” pancake topping.
What is marshmallow whipped cream?
I tasted a bite and guess what it tasted like? Marshmallow Whipped Cream! OMG you guys, I just wanted a whole bowl of that for breakfast. The pancakes were awesome too (copycat coming next week) but the fluffy cream on top? OMG.
Obviously it was the first thing I made when I got home. And I’m serving it in a bowl, like it was supposed to be served.

What’s in this fluffy marshmallow dip?
This is a super simple recipe with only 3 ingredients:
- Heavy whipping cream
- Marshmallow fluff
- Vanilla extract
You can find marshmallow fluff in the baking aisle and/or near where they sell the regular marshmallows.
You simply beat the cream halfway to whipped cream (soft peaks) then add the fluff and whip until it’s a bit stiffer. The end result is a soft and fluffy marshmallow whipped cream!
This whipped cream is not as stiff as normal whipped cream, but it’s the perfect topping for pie, cake, ice cream, or pancakes. But I like to use it how I think it was originally intended: as a fruit dip. For a spoon.
Or fruit, if you want to make it all healthy and stuff. But where’s the fun in that?

Marshmallow Whipped Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup (237ml) cold heavy whipping cream
- 1 7 ounce jar Marshmallow Fluff or Marshmallow Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat cold heavy whipping cream on high speed using a stand mixer or hand mixer. Beat until soft peaks form (the whipped cream has thickened slightly but does not stand up on its own). Add the marshmallow cream/fluff and vanilla and continue whipping on high speed, scraping down the sides of the mixer as needed, until a loose whipped cream forms. The end result will be stiffer than soft peaks but not all the way to a hard peak.
- Use as a dip for fruit or crackers or as a topping for pancakes, pie, brownies, ice cream, or cake.

Does this get watery when u make it as a frosting???
I’ve never made it as a frosting but any whipped cream will get watery after a day or so without a stabilizer.
I made this to go on top of the s’mores pie, instead of actual marshmallows, and it was fantastic! If I were to make this combo again, I would make half again as much marshmallow whipped cream because the ganache part really needs to be a smaller ratio, but I cannot recommend this variation on whipped cream enough. It is delicious.
I’m so glad you liked it!! Such a great idea on top of pie!
eeee Hawaii, how fun!!
I loooove being in and under the water so I can’t fully relate but that sucks that you then get swimmer’s ear and such! 🙁 I’m glad you had fun, though!
and ooooh this whipped cream looks so simple and ridiculously delicious!
This is delicious, Dorothy! I made yesterday for a family picnic and it was inhaled. Me? … I just ate with a spoon … didn’t need any stinkin’ fruit! Thanks for supplying my go-to for the summer. Happy 4th!
LOL! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
I love how versatile this marshmallow whipped cream is. I bet it would taste great on some chocolate chip pancakes.
