Instructions
- Select a heat-safe metal or glass mixing bowl that can sit on top of a saucepan without touching the water below to create a double boiler. Pour 2 inches of water into the saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium or medium-low to maintain a simmer.
- While the water is heating, place the egg whites, sugar, water, salt, and cream of tartar into the heat-safe mixing bowl.
- Set the bowl over the simmering water. Using a hand mixer, or whisking vigorously by hand, beat the egg mixture for about 7 minutes until it becomes thick and glossy. Place the bowl over the simmering water. Using a hand mixer, or whisking vigorously by hand, beat on medium speed for 7 minutes. The mixture should become thick, glossy, and increase in volume. At 3 minutes, increase the mixer speed as the mixture becomes creamier.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the saucepan and place it on the counter. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat with the hand mixer for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until stiff peaks form. The frosting should hold its shape when lifted.
Notes
- Yield: Frosting for 12 cupcakes or a 9-inch cake
