Tuesday's Cupful: Marshmallow Sour Cream Frosting


A rich dessert top-off

Sour cream adds extra zing to this smooth frosting. Melted marshmallows provide sweetness and lightness.

What you will need:

1 baking spatula
4 cups mini marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sour cream
1 medium-sized pirex bowl
1 medium-sized sauce pan
2 cups water
Pinch of salt


Cooking and Directions:


Heat up sauce pan filled with water on high heat. Let water reach boiling point then reduce heat to medium-high. Place pyrex bowl over boiling water so that you have a "double boiler." Pour in milk and let it steep. Gradually pour in marshmallows while stirring. Fold melting marshmallows into hot milk. Add vanilla extract then remove from heat. Let mixture reach room temperature. Mix in sour cream with pinch of salt. It's best to pour over a Jell-O dessert or cake in a pan and let it cool for a few hours to set.
