I just made this and the icing is VERY watery. I am boiling it further and will add more Marshmallows to try to fix it. I used unsweetened coconut as it seemed it would be much too sweet otherwise. If that doesn't work, I'll try some beaten egg whites or something.

I am so sorry you had trouble with this recipe. The icing is a little runny as it soaks into the layers. This makes the cake very moist. If it is too runny for you you can also add more marshmallows.
