Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a heatproof bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
-
Whisk the egg whites and sugar constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot to the touch, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Remove the bowl from the heat and transfer the mixture to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
-
Whip the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is cooled to room temperature, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Reduce the speed to medium and gradually add in the softened butter, a few tablespoons at a time. Continue whipping until the butter is fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
-
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Use immediately to frost cakes or pastries, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
