About Marshmallow paste

Marshmallow paste is a soft, sweet confectionery preparation with the characteristic aerated texture of marshmallow. It is used as a filling, topping, or ingredient in sweets and baking, and may be spread, piped, or incorporated into other mixtures.

It is usually pale and smooth to fluffy, with a mild, sugary flavour. Formulations vary: some are more firm or sticky, and ingredients and aeration methods differ among homemade and commercial products. The name refers to a soft paste form, not to firm individual marshmallows or marshmallow-flavoured ingredients.
