Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla or peppermint extract)
- 5 cups powdered sugar plus more as needed
Instructions
- Whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer on medium speed until frothy. (You can also do this in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer.)
- Add in almond extract or extract of your choice.
- Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time on low speed. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically.
- Once all the sugar has been combined, increase the speed of the mixer to high and whisk for 7 to 10 minutes. Stiff peaks should form and when you run a knife through the icing the path of the knife should hold.
- Fill a piping bag with the icing and use it immediately for the best results. (see note)

Notes
- If storing the icing, put it into an airtight container and lay a piece of plastic wrap over the top so that it's touching the icing. This will keep the air off the icing and prevent a crust from forming and the icing from drying out.
