7 minute frosting

7 minute frosting

Ingredients

I hate buttercream icing -- so I've avoided white frostings -- but this stuff rocks -- it's like marshmallow

2 egg whites (substitute meringue powder per pkg directions)
1-1/2 cups sugar
5 Tbsp water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1-1/2 tsp light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Off the heat, combine the egg whites, sugar, water, cream of tartar, and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler and mix until thoroughly blended. Place the top of the double boiler over rapidly boiling water and beat with a hand mixer or energetically with a wire whisk for 7 minutes. Add the vanilla and continue beating until the icing reaches a good consistency for spreading.
