35 Recipes with Marshmallow Fluff for Party Desserts and Snacks

From creamy fruit dips and classic no-bake cheesecakes to dreamy fudge and fluffy frostings, these recipes with marshmallow fluff make desserts irresistibly fun and easy.

Nothing swirls, spreads or steals the spotlight quite like marshmallow fluff. With its airy texture and mellow vanilla flavor, this retro ingredient stars in everything from no-bake fudge to layered fruit salads. Whether you’re folding it into whipped frostings, spooning it over pies or melting it into chewy bars, recipes with marshmallow fluff bring their signature lightness and a gooey pull.

We chose these recipes for the way they use fluff to add structure, richness and just the right amount of sweetness. Some come together in minutes, like marshmallow strawberry fruit dip or rainbow s’moreo cookies that are perfect for rainy-day baking or party tables. Others lean into more layered desserts, such as no-bake blueberry cheesecake or fluff-filled whoopie pies. You’ll also spot classic chocolate desserts with marshmallow swirls, fudge made with fluff, plus party-ready treats like peanut butter fluff squares and fruit pies. Across the board, these marshmallow creme dessert recipes are irresistible.

Many no-bake desserts finish with a tall swirl of marshmallow fluff, and there’s always room for a fluffernutter sandwich, which can pair well with salty mix-ins like peanuts or pretzels. From casual weeknight treats to sprinkle desserts for parties, these easy marshmallow fluff ideas add a soft finish that never goes out of style.

Recipes with Marshmallow Fluff FAQ

Can I substitute marshmallow fluff for melted marshmallows?

Yes, you can substitute marshmallow fluff for melted marshmallows in recipes like whoopie pie filling, fruit dip or fudge-based frosting, where a creamy consistency is key. Since fluff 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. This makes fluff a great fit for no-bake desserts, sandwich-style cookies and whipped toppings.

How do I store desserts made with marshmallow fluff?

Store marshmallow fluff desserts in an airtight container 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 wax paper or parchment between stacked layers. Some treats, such as fluff-based fudges or no-bake bars that use marshmallow creme, can also be frozen; just wrap them tightly in plastic 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 fluff?

Marshmallow fluff 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, like 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 fluff in frostings, dips or layered desserts.
