If you’re looking for a fluffy and sweet topping for your cupcakes or cakes, this Easy Marshmallow Icing is the perfect choice. With its light, airy texture and delightful vanilla flavor, it’s a simple yet elegant way to elevate your baked treats. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 4 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Prepare Double Boiler: Fill a pot with an inch or two of water and place a heat-proof mixing bowl on top to create a double boiler.
2. Heat Mixture: On low heat, combine sugar, salt, and egg whites in the bowl. Whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot to the touch, about 5 minutes.
3. Beat Icing: Transfer the hot mixture to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Add vanilla extract and beat on high until stiff peaks form, which should take about 7 minutes.
4. Frost Cupcakes: Spoon the marshmallow icing onto cooled cupcakes.
5. Optional Toasting: For an extra touch, toast the marshmallow icing under your stove’s broil setting for 30 seconds, or use a kitchen torch for a golden-brown finish.
