Marshmallow Frosting

By SweetyBakes

Ingredients

• 2 (large) egg whites
• 1 cup sugar
• 6 Tablespoons water
• 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a large heatproof bowl (the metal bowl of your electric mixer), combine the egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, cream of tartar and salt.
2. Set the bowl over (but not touching) simmering water in a saucepan and heat mixture, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is very warm to the touch (about 160*F), about 3 minutes.
3. Remove the bowl from the saucepan. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed, about 2 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, microwave 1 cup mini marshmallows 30 seconds to 1 minute, until puffed, and starting to melt.
5. Add marshmallows to mixture in electric mixer, reduce speed to low and add vanilla. Continue beating (on low) until the marshmallows are melted and frosting is completely smooth (about 3-4 minutes). Use frosting right away
