Ingredients for Peach Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff
See the recipe card below for full quantities and details.
- Peach jam. Use a high-quality jam for the best flavor; homemade or market-bought both work well.
- Vanilla extract. Real vanilla adds warmth and depth.
- Honey. Provides natural sweetness; you can substitute maple syrup if desired.
- Water. Used to bloom the gelatin and to make the honey syrup.
- Gelatin. Gives the fluff structure and the classic marshmallow texture.
Tools for Peach Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff
- Candy thermometer. Important for heating the honey syrup to the correct temperature so the fluff sets properly.
- Stand mixer. A stand mixer yields the quickest, most consistent results; a hand mixer will work but takes longer.
How to Make Peach Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff
Below are the essential steps. Full instructions and exact measurements are in the recipe card at the end.
Step one. Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over a portion of the water in the mixer bowl and letting it sit. Heat the remaining water with the honey in a saucepan until it reaches 240°F (use a candy thermometer). Carefully pour the hot honey syrup into the mixer while whipping on high.
Step two. After whipping until thick and glossy, add vanilla, then fold in the peach jam with a spatula. Transfer the fluff to a glass container and refrigerate. It keeps up to two weeks and can be used as a dip, spread, or filling.
Michelle’s Tips & Tricks
- Choose quality peach jam. A flavorful jam makes a big difference — local or homemade preserves are excellent.
- Adjust the jam amount. Start with 1/4 cup and add more if you prefer a stronger peach flavor.
- Watch for gloss and thickness. The fluff is ready when it becomes glossy and thick instead of runny.
“My marshmallow fluff isn’t getting thick.”
If your mixer is struggling to thicken the mixture after 8–10 minutes, chill the mixer bowl in the fridge for about 10 minutes to help the gelatin set, then continue whipping before adding the jam.

Peach Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp gelatin
- 3/4 cup water, divided
- 1 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup peach jam
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 1/4 cup water and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let it bloom while preparing the syrup. Attach the whisk for later.
- In a medium stainless-steel pot, combine 1/2 cup water and 1 cup honey. Heat over medium-high until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
- With the mixer running, slowly pour the hot honey syrup into the mixer bowl and increase speed to high. Whip for 7–8 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and whip another 2–3 minutes until the mixture is thick and glossy like marshmallow fluff.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer base and fold in the peach jam with a silicone spatula until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the fluff into a glass container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Use as a dip, spread, or filling.
Notes
You can use a hand mixer and a large bowl instead of a stand mixer; it will take longer to reach the same thickness. If the fluff isn’t thickening after 8–10 minutes, chill the mixer bowl for 10 minutes and continue whipping before adding jam. Storage: keep refrigerated. The fluff will set; microwave a small portion for about 10 seconds to return it to a softer texture.
