What each ingredient does

Marshmallow icing
Provides the marshmallow base and flavor that give the filling its characteristic character.
Powdered sugar
Adds sweetness and bulk, helping the filling thicken as it is beaten.
Glucose
Adds sweetness and moisture while helping keep the filling smooth and soft.

The step that matters

Beating until light and fluffy. Beating whips air into the mixture, which gives the filling its light texture. Stopping too early leaves it dense, while the sugar and glucose must be fully combined first so no grainy pockets remain.
