Marshmallow Creme

3 egg whites
2 cups light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

In large mixer bowl, combine egg whites, syrup and salt. Beat for 10 minutes until thick. Add confectioners' sugar at low speed. Then add vanilla extract and beat until blended.

Pioneer Mom's Note: This is really very simple to make, and tastes so much like the original one that you might not even notice the difference. 

Cool Whip

1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk, chilled
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Pour evaporated milk into a shallow tray, bowl or ice cube trays and place in the freezer until crystals begin to form around the edges.

While the milk is chilling, combine the gelatin and water in a dish, without stirring. Place the dish in a small saucepan or dish containing hot water and let stand until the gelatin dissolves - about 5 minutes. Remove dish from the hot water, stir the gelatin and allow to cool.

Beat the milk in a medium size bowl until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, oil, and then gelatin mixture. Continue beating until stiff peaks form again. Cover and place in freezer for 10 minutes, then transfer to refrigerator. The mixture will become very stiff.

Before serving, stir to soften. Will keep 3 days covered in refrigerator.
