Calories: 214kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- pinch sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and sea salt in the body of a stand mixer or a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Place over a medium-sized saucepan with 2 inches of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture reaches 160°F. It will become thinner. You will notice the bottom of the mixture will be a clear tone with a foamy layer on top.
- Take off the heat and add the vanilla.
- Place this on the stand mixer with the whisk attachment or with an electric hand mixer, whip until stiff peaks form on medium-high speed.
- The frosting will become bright white and glossy. Use immediately.
Notes
- You will know this is done when the consistency becomes glossy and bright white.
- A candy thermometer is great for this when heating so you know when it reaches 160 degrees F.
- This should cover up to 24 cupcakes.
- You can double or half this batch.
- This works great on cupcakes, cakes, fluffernutter sandwiches, sandwich cookies and more!
- We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
- We highly recommend a stand mixer but this can be made with a hand mixer.
