Homemade fluffy marshmallow frosting

Here’s a recipe for homemade fluffy marshmallow frosting that you can use to top cakes and cupcakes:

Ingredients:

• 3 large egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a heatproof bowl, combine the egg whites, granulated sugar, and cream of tartar.
2. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) to create a makeshift bain-marie. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
3. Whisk the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes warm to the touch. This helps ensure that the egg whites are pasteurized.
4. Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer or use a hand mixer. Begin whipping the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This may take about 7-10 minutes.
5. Once stiff peaks have formed, add the vanilla extract and continue whipping for an additional minute to incorporate the flavor.
6. Your fluffy marshmallow frosting is now ready to be used. Spread it on cakes or cupcakes using a spatula or pipe it onto cupcakes for a decorative touch.

Note: Make sure your cake or cupcakes have completely cooled before applying the marshmallow frosting.

Enjoy your delicious homemade marshmallow frosting!
