Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Sugar-free sweetener (granulated, such as erythritol or stevia blend)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
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.
