Description

Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp Almond extract (optional)
• 5 cups of confectioners sugar (have more to thicken if needed)

Directions

• whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer until frothy
• add in almond extract if using
• slowly pour in confectioners sugar on low speed, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically
• once all the sugar has been combined increase the speed of the mixer to high and whisk for 7 to 10 minutes
• stiff peaks should form and when you run a knife through you should see the path of the knife hold
• fill a piping bag and use immediately
• if storing put into an airtight container and lay plastic wrap on the top of the icing to keep air off of it. This will prevent a crust from forming.
