Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 medium egg whites
  • 200 g fine granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Egg Whites and Sugar: Place the egg whites and the granulated sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer or a heatproof bowl.
  2. Heat over Bain-Marie: Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and heat on medium, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes until the mixture reaches at least 55°C (131°F) and the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Whip with Vanilla: Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the vanilla extract, and whip at medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture turns glossy, cools down, and holds stiff peaks.
  4. Use Immediately: Immediately use the marshmallow glaze to decorate your cupcakes or cakes for best results.

Notes

  • Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved during the bain-marie step to avoid graininess in the icing.
  • The meringue should be whipped until it reaches stiff peaks and becomes glossy for optimal texture.
  • This glaze is best used fresh as it may lose firmness over time.
  • Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature during heating.
