Fluff is a popular ingredient used in many recipes for desserts and snacks. It is a light and airy whipped cream, often used as a garnish or filling for sandwiches, cakes and pies. Fluff is also known as Marshmallow cream or chestnut cream, although it is generally softer and less sweet than traditional Marshmallows. The fluff was invented in 1917 by Archibald Query, a resident of Somerville, in Massachusetts. He created this ingredient by mixing gelatin, sugar, water and egg albumin to create a creamy and easy to spread cream. Since then, Fluff has become a popular kitchen ingredient in many countries, especially in the United States and Canada.
