Marshmallow Frosting

Marshmallow Icing Recipe

yields: enough frosting for 18 cupcakes
prep time: 9 minutes
cook time: 5 minutes
total time: 14 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of granulated white sugar (not powdered sugar)
  • 4 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup of water
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation:

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, bring the 1/3 cup of water, sugar, cream of tartar to a boil. Do not stir the sugar mixture as this will cause it to crystallize. Boil until you have thick clear bubbles (about 5 minutes). Once the bubbles appear, do not boil even a second longer.

Step 2: In a metal bowl that fits into your electric mixer, add the egg whites and beat them until they start to get thick and form soft peaks.

Step 3: Set your timer for 7 minutes. Beat the egg mixture on high speed while slowly streaming the sugar syrup in a little at a time into the mixer for 7 minutes.
