Ingredients
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, granulated sugar, cold water, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the mixture on low speed until the sugar starts to dissolve and the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 3
Increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating for about 5-7 minutes. The mixture will thicken and turn glossy white as stiff peaks start to form.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and beat for an additional 30 seconds until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Check the consistency of the icing by lifting the whisk – the peaks should hold their shape firmly. If not stiff enough, continue to beat for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
The icing is now ready to use. Spread or pipe immediately onto cakes or cupcakes as it sets quickly.
Step 7
Store any unused icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but it’s best used fresh.
