Easy 7 Minute Frosting ( No double boiler)

Did I just say no double boiler for this 7 minute frosting recipe? You bet I did! Instead of figuring out how the heck to whip egg whites easily over a double boiler, this recipe shows you how to make luscious 7 minute frosting in a pot directly on the stovetop- it can be done! This method is so much easier and results in the same exact super smooth, swoopy, and delicious marshmallowy white frosting that you can slather all over your favorite cakes.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 1/4 cup white sugar, 250g
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tsp water

Equipment

  • 1 heavy bottomed pot
  • 1 hand mixer

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a heavy bottomed large pot add the 4 egg whites, 1 1/4 cups of sugar, 1/4 tsp cream of tartar, and 3 tsp water over low- med heat.
  • Using a hand mixer on high speed, whip the egg whites for 7 minutes or until it reaches stiff peaks.
  • Take the pot off the heat and add in the vanilla extract. Whip again for 30 seconds.
  • Slather all over a cooled cake and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure there is no grease on any of your equipment and no yolk in the egg whites or else they will not whip.
