Marshmallow frosting, also known as Swiss meringue in some countries, is a sweet and creamy preparation used to decorate and cover cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. Its origin dates back to European tradition, where meringue has been a classic for centuries. In different regions of Latin America, this type of frosting may have different names; in Mexico, it is usually simply called "meringue," and in Argentina and Chile, it is commonly known as "marshmallow glaze." This frosting stands out for its soft, shiny texture and its ability to remain stable without needing to be baked, making it ideal for those looking for a light coating with a delicate flavor.
