How to Make Coffee Fluff

Combine 1 cup of marshmallows and 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee in a double boiler.
Add a pinch of salt. Stir constantly over low heat until marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy (about 5-7 minutes).
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator until it begins to thicken slightly (about 30-45 minutes).
In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled coffee marshmallow mixture.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it is firm enough to hold its shape (at least 2-3 hours).
Serve your Coffee Fluff in sherbet glasses or small dessert bowls.
