Cream Cheese Marshmallow Fondant

Submitted by Jmommy209

"I love the ease of working with marshmallow fondant and the flavor is so much better than the plasticky stuff you can buy premade, but it's so sweet it hurts my teeth. In an effort to make it more palatable for adults, I tweaked a marshmallow fondant recipe and found success. Still easy to work with, not terribly sticky, and much less sweet."
