This Eggless Royal Icing is perfect for decorating cookies! With a subtle lemony taste, this egg-free royal icing is great for anything from sugar cookies to drawing decorative shapes or gluing together a gingerbread house. It hardens when it dries, so decorations stay in place.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups (240 g) confectioner's sugar
4 - 5 teaspoons (20 - 25 ml) water
4 teaspoons (20 ml) light corn syrup
1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice
2 tablespoons (30 ml) aquafaba
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups (240 g) confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice

Steps:

  • Mix confectioner's sugar and water in a glass bowl until no lumps. Note: You can make this icing by hand but using an electric mixer or a stand mixer makes the mixing process a breeze.
  • Add light corn syrup and mix until incorporated.
  • Stir in lemon juice and mix until incorporated. NOTE: Check consistency; after mixing the ingredients together, drag the tip of a butter knife through the surface of your icing. If it takes 8 - 10 seconds to settle flat, you are good. If it's too thick, add more water (about a teaspoon at a time). If it's too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners' sugar. Continue adding more until you reach the consistency you'd like.
  • Use the white icing as it is, or divide the icing into several bowls and add gel food coloring. See notes for different consistencies.
  • Use immediately, or store in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the icing for up to 3 days. Stir gently with a spatula before using.
  • Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the aquafaba and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until it reaches medium peaks, 5 to 8 minutes
  • Add confectioner's sugar; mix until well incorporated.
  • Add lemon juice and mix to incorporate. NOTE: Check consistency; after mixing the ingredients together, drag the tip of a butter knife through the surface of your icing. If it takes 8 - 10 seconds to settle flat, you are good. If it's too thick, add more water (about a teaspoon at a time). If it's too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners' sugar. Continue adding more until you reach the consistency you'd like.

VEGAN / EGGLESS ROYAL ICING



Vegan / Eggless Royal Icing image

I found this on the Wilton forums when searching the web for an eggless royal icing substitute. I made a batch this morning and used it to assemble a gingerbread house. The pieces stuck together easily, the icing isn't running, and the roof isn't slipping at all. I'm very pleased! (Note: I'm posting the recipe as I found it, but I had to add an extra tsp of liquid - I used water, total of 3 tsp - as it was very pellet-like at first.)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons non-dairy milk substitute (like rice milk, or water)
2 teaspoons light corn syrup

favorite paste food coloring or powder food coloring

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and first liquid (water or rice milk) until smooth.
  • 2. Add corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.

  • 4. Cover icing with damp cloth when not using to prevent crusting.

Tips for Perfect Vegan Eggless Royal Icing

- Use aquafaba (chickpea brine) at room temperature. Cold aquafaba won't whip up as well. - Whip the aquafaba until it forms stiff peaks. This will take a few minutes, so be patient. - Add the powdered sugar gradually, one cup at a time. This will help to prevent the icing from becoming grainy. - If the icing is too thick, add a little bit of water or aquafaba. If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar. - Use the icing immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. - When you're ready to use the icing, bring it to room temperature and whip it again until it's light and fluffy.

Conclusion

Vegan eggless royal icing is a versatile and delicious icing that can be used to decorate cakes, cookies, and other desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to create beautiful and impressive vegan desserts that will wow your friends and family.
