Marshmallow Frosting

By nichc

Fluff as frosting or filling. This is marshmallow so your bowls and tools need to be grease & egg yolk free or it will be a massive fail.

Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites
• 1 Cup ordinary sugar (white or brown)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients except the vanilla essence into a bowl which you can place over a pot of simmering water.

{You could use a double boiler here instead}

Whisk the egg white mixture constantly over simmering water until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot to the touch. {It takes around 5 minutes}.

Pour the mixture into a bigger bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. {Add the vanilla while beating}. After 3 minutes, the mixture will be lovely and fluffy.

Eat straight from the bowl, use on peanut butter sandwiches, fill whoopie pies or between oatmeal cookies for oatmeal pies, or fill a pastry bag and go to town on cupcakes or a full cake... the possibilities are endless!
