Total: 40 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a heatproof bowl, combine the egg whites, sugar, water, and cream of tartar.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Whisk the mixture constantly for about 7 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot to the touch.
Remove the bowl from the heat and transfer it to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the icing is glossy, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk until well combined.
Allow the icing to cool completely before using it to frost your cakes or cupcakes.
