Granulated, superfine or caster sugar will all work well for this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream of tartar:<\/strong> Cream of tartar is a byproduct from the winemaking process and the best choice for meringues and similar recipes. It\u2019s both acidic and powdery, so it helps form the frosting without watering it down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Vanilla extract helps give some oomph to an otherwise very neutral-tasting frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Whisk together the ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>Using a stand mixer and heatproof bowl, whisk the egg whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar until blended.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> To separate the egg whites, we recommend using your hands.

Just a few flavors to consider include almond extract, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-rose-water-for-cooking-and-baking\/#:~:text=Rose%20water%20is%20a%20common,balance%20out%20more%20tart%20ingredients.\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-rose-water-for-cooking-and-baking\/#:~:text=Rose%20water%20is%20a%20common,balance%20out%20more%20tart%20ingredients.\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">rose water<\/a>, orange blossom water and peppermint extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute the cream of tartar:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have or don\u2019t want to use cream of tartar, you can swap in lemon juice or vinegar using a 1:1 ratio.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make buttercream meringue:<\/strong> This recipe is just missing the butter to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/swiss-meringue-buttercream-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/swiss-meringue-buttercream-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">buttercream meringue<\/a>.

This recipe is most similar to Swiss meringue, which in comparison to the Italian and French versions does not keep its texture well. If you absolutely must store this fluffy white frosting, place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to one day.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I freeze fluffy white frosting?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s best to avoid freezing this recipe because the whipped egg whites may become rubbery. Instead, if you want to store this recipe for the long term, we suggest making baked desserts like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/two-berry-pavlova\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/two-berry-pavlova\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pavlova<\/a> with it and using an airtight container.

Doing this will cause it to become too stiff and lose its moisture. To check if this has happened, remove your whisk and look for harsh peaks and a chunky texture.<\/p>\n<h3>Why isn\u2019t my meringue getting fluffy?<\/h3>\n<p>For a truly fluffy result, avoid any fat, dirt or excess water from coming into contact with your meringue. For example, any egg yolks in your batter or residues in your mixing bowl can contaminate your frosting.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the secret to a good meringue?<\/h3>\n<p>Learning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/learning-how-to-make-meringue-we-reveal-our-secrets\/#:~:text=Can%20you%20freeze%20meringue?,building%20up%20while%20you%20wait.\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/learning-how-to-make-meringue-we-reveal-our-secrets\/#:~:text=Can%20you%20freeze%20meringue?,building%20up%20while%20you%20wait.\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to make meringue<\/a> takes some practice.

So it says mix the ingredients then keep mixing while cooking for 8 minutes then beat some more off the heat for 7 minutes this seems wrong to me. I tried this and had quite a few problems. First the frosting is a version of a meringue frosting and it takes like marshmallow creme, could have just bought that.So I believe the frosting is supposed to say mix the ingredients together with a whisk. Then whisk the frosting for seven minutes on low heat.Of course this only works if your egg whites fluff up which mine didn't. Some tips from online and my experience. Do not let ANY yolk into your white throw it out if you do- I hate wasting food but the egg whites do not whip if you keep it in. Next do not use a plastic bowl-glass or metal. Make sure the bowl is clean and your eggs are room temp. Mine were ruined because I had some yolk that got mixed in- another recommendation crack and separate the egg as soon as you take it out of the fridge then bring to room temp.Also with this recipe it is recommended to not refrigerate and to use immediately, also second day does not taste good.I was very frustrated both by the directions and my results, italian meringue frosting sounds easier than this. To the person below, you can use any acid lemon juice works, instead of cream of tartar.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-01-29","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"piemam"},"reviewBody":"TASED BAD","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-01-29","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"beckythommy"},"reviewBody":"This frosting had good flavor, but, when i made it, it did not form stiff peaks like the directions implied it would.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":2,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"8002","romance_copy_dek":"Fluffy white frosting is similar to meringue, but instead of baking it, it's laced atop cakes or in between cookies for a cookie sandwich.","enhanced_recipe_title":"Fluffy White Frosting","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"4 large egg whites","IngredientText":"4 large egg whites"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1-1\/3 cups sugar","IngredientText":"1-1\/3 cups sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 tablespoon water","IngredientText":"1 tablespoon water"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 teaspoon cream of tartar","IngredientText":"1\/2 teaspoon cream of tartar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Fluffy-White-Frosting_EXPS_TOHD25_8002_ChristineMa_3.jpg","RecipeId":8002,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Christine Ma for Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Fluffy White Frosting Recipe photo by Christine Ma for Taste Recipes","VideoCode":null,"RecipeAttachmentFileName":"Fluffy-White-Frosting_EXPS_TOHD25_8002_ChristineMa_3.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Georgia","Lastname":"Bohmann","City":"West Allis","StateDescription":"Wisconsin","IsCommunityCook":false,"TimeCallout":"Prep\/Total Time: 20 min.","MinimumServingQuantity":32,"MaximumServingQuantity":32,"Yield":"4 cups.","DigitalTitle":"Fluffy White Frosting","SubmittedTitle":"Fluffy White Frosting","RecipeTypeId":1,"AverageRating":3.61,"WebPublishedDate":"1\/1\/2018 12:00:00 AM","ContestPlacementId":null,"FbImage":"FB_FT20_8002_F_0813_1.jpg","PreparationTimeInMinutes":20,"CookTimeInMinutes":0,"TotalTimeInMinutes":20,"ServingDescription":null,"IsTestKitchenCertified":true,"IsContestWinner":false,"IsCommunityRecipe":false,"PublishedProjectTitle":"Fluffy White Frosting","OriginalSourceProject":"Fluffy White Frosting","ContestPlacement":"","Trailer":null,"Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"For a heavenly light and fluffy frosting, you can't top this variation of the classic seven-minute frosting. \u2014Georgia Bohmann, West Allis, Wisconsin","FreezerDirections":"","FreezerDirectionsTitle":"","HTMLTitle":null,"RecipeVersionNumber":null,"WorkflowStatusId":9,"Directions":[{"Direction":"In a heatproof bowl of a stand mixer, whisk egg whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar until blended.
