Marshmallow Frosting Recipe via Martha Stewart: Light As a Feather
Egg whites are key in marshmallow making and the same goes for this fantastic and simple marshmallow frosting recipe. Rather than calling for marshmallow Fluff, where there are a lot of ingredients you may not really want, this simple recipe calls for just egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and vanilla extract. Mixing until stiff glossy peaks, you’ll have a frosting that beautifully piles high on top of cakes and cupcakes. Chocolate cake would be a natural fit.
Marshmallow Frosting (from Martha Stewart Marshmallow Frosting Recipe, originally from Jennifer Shea of Trophy Cupcakes).
Ingredients
Makes enough for 2 dozen cupcakes
* 8 large egg whites
* 2 cups sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Directions
1. Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer. Set over a saucepan with simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until stiff, glossy peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix until combined. Use immediately.
