FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING



Fluffy White Frosting image

This frosting got its name because its large white peaks hold up long after it's beaten. It's sometimes called White Mountain Frosting. (Easy)

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Room temperature egg whites will have more volume when beaten than cold egg whites. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, stir sugar, corn syrup and water until well mixed. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed (see Testing Candy Temperature, page 00). For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.
  • Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  • Frost 13x9-inch cake, or fill and frost 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Leftover frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; do not stir.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING



Fluffy White Frosting image

This is a favorite of my family's (especially my 16 year old--the only frosting she will ever make). It is in response to a request on the boards. If you are planning to use this on a chocolate cake, clear vanilla will produce a stark white frosting that contrasts beautifully with the chocolate. This is a light, fluffy frosting and doesn't over-power the flavor of any cake that you choose to top with it. My daughters also like to spread it on graham crackers for 'graham cracker sandwiches'.

Tips:

  • For the fluffiest frosting, make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start.
  • Use a clean bowl and beaters to whip the egg whites. Any grease or residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam.
  • Once the egg whites are stiff but not dry, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Continue beating until the frosting is thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks.
  • If you are using the frosting to decorate a cake or cupcakes, pipe it onto the cooled cake or cupcakes immediately.
  • The frosting can also be used to fill cakes or cupcakes, or as a dip for fruit or cookies.

Conclusion:

Fluffy egg white frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be flavored with a variety of extracts or spices. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect fluffy egg white frosting every time.
