Seven-Minute Frosting image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt in a large heatproof glass bowl. Set the bowl on top of the pan (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Beat with a hand mixer on low speed until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. (If any sugar crystals form on the side of the bowl, brush them down with a wet pastry brush.) Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the pan and beat until the frosting cools slightly, about 30 seconds. Use while still slightly warm -- the frosting will firm up and form a hard shell when it cools. Do not refrigerate the frosted cake or the frosting may weep.

This frosting is a bit too soft for my liking. I prefer a frosting that's a bit more stiff.

This frosting is delicious, but it's a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a bit too runny at first, but I was able to fix it by adding more powdered sugar.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I've tried many frosting recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess.
