Indulge in the light and fluffy decadence of this Seven Minute Frosting, perfectly reimagined for a diabetic-friendly treat! This quick and easy recipe swaps traditional sugar for a granulated sugar-free sweetener like erythritol or stevia, ensuring a guilt-free indulgence without compromising on taste. Made with just five simple ingredients—egg whites, water, vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and sweetener—this frosting is whipped to stiff, glossy peaks in just minutes, creating a luscious texture that's perfect for cakes or cupcakes. Prepared in a double boiler for a foolproof finish, this velvety frosting is not only diabetic-friendly but also low in calories, making it an ideal choice for health-conscious bakers. With its airy consistency and subtle sweetness, this quick-to-make frosting will be the star of any dessert table.
In a heatproof bowl (or the bowl of a double boiler), combine the egg whites, sugar-free sweetener, water, and cream of tartar.
Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Using a hand mixer on low speed, beat the mixture until it begins to form soft peaks, about 2–3 minutes.
Increase the mixer speed to high and continue to beat for another 4–5 minutes until stiff, glossy peaks form and the mixture holds its shape.
Remove the bowl from the heat and add the vanilla extract.
Continue beating for 1–2 minutes to combine and help cool the frosting slightly.
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes. This frosting sets quickly, so work efficiently for smooth results.
