Description

This delightful no-cook frosting mimics the texture and sweetness of marshmallow fluff, offering a light and airy finish to any dessert. Made with just egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, and a pinch of salt, it whips up into a glossy, stable peak that is perfect for spreading. The clear corn syrup helps stabilize the mixture, giving it a professional sheen and smooth mouthfeel. Ideal for topping layer cakes, cupcakes, or fruit tarts, this versatile frosting adds a nostalgic touch to modern desserts. It is especially great for those looking for a lighter alternative to heavy buttercreams, providing sweetness without the dense richness. Whip it up in minutes for a show-stopping finish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a clean mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and salt.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth and glossy after each addition.
  4. Continue beating and slowly drizzle in the corn syrup, a little at a time.
  5. Beat after each addition of corn syrup until the frosting forms stiff, glossy peaks.
  6. Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes.
