Description

Directions

• Add in the meringue powder and water into your mixing bowl and beat together for a few minutes until frothy.
• Add in the sugar and mix together slowly until all the liquid and powdered sugar is combined.
• If you have a stand mixer set it at a medium high speed and beat it together for 4 minutes with the paddle attachment, dont forget to set a timer!
• Your icing should have semi-stiff peaks (see photo) when the icing is ready, not floppy peaks!
• If the icing is not quite stiff enough then watch closely and beat for one more minute and check it again.
• Icing (not thinned with water) made with meringue powder can be kept on the counter top for a week or so, it may require a little remixing after a day or two as the water can separate on the bottom of the bowl.
