Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons Simple Syrup Clear
- 1 Egg White
- Simple Syrup:
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/4 Cup Powdered Sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients and double boiler for the procedure. If you do not have a double boiler, using a pot on top of simmering water is okay. Before you start, make sure your egg whites are at room temperature. This helps them whip up more easily and gives you a better consistency. For the syrup, the thickest is the best for a smoother result.
- Using the double boiler or a pot on top of simmering water, pour the syrup and whisk using the hand mixer. Once you see some bubbles forming from the mixed syrup, start adding the egg whites. Mix again on medium speed and make sure you do not burn the mixture.
- Do not stop mixing until you get a fluffy and frothy consistency. You will notice it is done once you see it is not changing anymore because it means they are perfectly combined.
- Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer making sure the bottom part of the bowl is dried with a kitchen towel. Turn the mixer on high and keep mixing until the icing becomes glossy and holds stiff peaks.

Notes
- Make sure your mixing bowl and whisk are clean and grease-free before whipping your egg whites. Any grease can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
- If you are in a hurry, use a hand mixer for faster whipping. It works just as well for small batches.
- Allow the icing to cool before spreading it on your cake or dessert to avoid melting or sliding off.
