Meringue Frosting
|
Ingredients:
|
 |
- 1 c. sugar
- 5 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
|
|
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 drops of almond extract
|
- In a saucepan or deep-sided skillet large enough to hold a mixing bowl, bring a couple of inches of water to a slow simmer. The bowl does not have to fit all the way in the pan. If it rests down in the pan without touching the bottom it will be alright.
|
|
 |
- Add the sugar, egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk together until all ingredients are combined.
|
|
 |
- Place the bowl over the simmering water and make sure the water is just at a very slow simmer because you do not want the egg whites to cook. Whisk the ingredients as they are warming.
|
|
 |
- Continue to whisk until the sugar is melted and the mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Mixture should just be hot to the touch. Do not boil. You just want to make sure the sugar is all melted.
|
|
 |
 |
|
- Remove the egg whites mixture from the simmering water and begin beating at medium-high speed.
|
 |
|
- The egg whites will begin to cool as you continue to beat them.
|
 |
|
- Beat until whites are forming a soft peak.
|
 |
|
- Continue beating on low speed as you add the vanilla and almond extract.
|
 |
|
- Turn the mixer up to medium speed and continue to beat until the frosting forms stiff peaks and has a glossy sheen.
|
- The frosting is then ready to spread on a cooled cake or cupcakes. The frosting can be used as is or colored with gel food coloring. Decorate as desired or use one of our simple frosting designs.

Note: If stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, the frosted cake or cupcakes and meringue frosting will keep fairly well for up to two days. | |
