Calories: 84kcal
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/3 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Light corn syrup
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
On top of a double boiler, combine all ingredients with a whisk except the vanilla.
Place over rapidly boiling water but make sure water does not touch the bottom of the pan. Beat the mixture on high speed using a hand mixer until stiff peaks develop, which takes about 7 minutes.
Remove from heat, add vanilla then continue beating until frosting holds deep swirls then frost.
What to do with leftovers
Seven minute frosting is best used immediately. However, if you end up with leftovers or want to prep it in advance, here’s what to do:
- Room temperature: The frosting is safe to store at room temperature for up to a day since the sugar acts as a preservative. After that, it should be moved to the fridge.
- Fridge: Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: This recipe is not meant to be frozen as the texture will change too much once thawed.
