👩🍳 How to Make 7 Minute Frosting
- Prepare a double boiler: Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a simmer. In a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan (without touching the water), combine egg whites, sugar, water, and cream of tartar.
- Whisk constantly: Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk the mixture vigorously for about 7 minutes. The mixture will thicken and turn glossy and white.
- Add vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Frost immediately: Spread or pipe onto your cooled cake or cupcakes. The frosting will firm up as it cools.
