confectioners’ sugar

Tablespoon milk (to about 2 Tablespoons) (as needed)

Freshly whipped, homemade Marshmallow Frosting made from pillowy Swiss meringue flavored with a hint of vanilla. Perfect for piping onto your favorite cupcakes and cakes!

1 cup (190 grams) granulated sugar

teaspoon cream of tartar

teaspoon vanilla

Combine sugar, egg whites, and cream of tartar in a bowl with a candy thermometer attached. Set the bowl over the top of a pot with 1 ¼ cups water covering the bottom. Place over medium heat.

Stir constantly with a whisk until the mixture reaches 140°-160°  The sugar should be dissolved in the egg whites. You can test this by placing a drop on your fingertips and rubbing them together to ensure it’s completely smooth.

Immediately place the mixing bowl on your stand. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat the eggs white on low for 2 minutes, then increase to medium-high. Beat for another 5 minutes (the frosting should have turned white and the body of the meringue starts to form). Add the vanilla extract and increase the mixing speed to high, beat for another 3-5 minutes until the bottom of your bowl is cool to the touch and your meringue has stiff peaks. Use immediately.

I made white chocolate coconut cupcakes for my son and daughter-in-law's shower for this coming Saturday. Your frosting was magnificent. I took some white chocolate chips and melted them added them to the frosting. I also added some raspberry Emulsion and coconut emotion, in place of the vanilla. It was so good. By the way, I double the recipe but only used the 6 to 7 cups of flour for the double patch and it was perfect. Then I took some of that, and put about three cups into a measuring cup and added HR of Knott's pure seedless red raspberry jam, and that's what I'm going to use to fill the cupcakes with. When they're done, I'll let you know how it all went together. But tasting the frosting with that chocolate in it and the additional emotions was so so good! Thank you again for this wonderful recipe and technique

Wonderful finely someone who can explain things so simple and to be a successful outcome thanks so much one ☝️ fan

Terrific cream cheese frosting!  Used it to top a banana cake so I added a little maple with the vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon (no heavy cream needed).  Very happy with this frosting.   Used the amounts recommended for a 13x9 cake - and it was the perfect amount for frosting my cake (and I like a LOT of frosting on my cake)!   Will definitely use again.  Thank you!

I specifically looked for a cream cheese icing I could pipe.  It tasted good but there was no way it could be piped for any kind of design. Will keep searching for a better more stable recipe.

The icing tasted lovely but was runny and seemingly unrescuable. I froze it, in case I can defrost and re whip for another cake.

I followed the direction and the video so I’m unsure why the outcome didn’t work. 

Any tips?

On another note, I made the chocolate one and it was amazing!

This is the second time I have made you frosting. It is absolutely perfect! After I cubed the butter and cubed cream cheese, I put them back in the refrigerator so they'd be cold when it was time to mix. I followed your instructions, and thank you for the pictures, and I flavored it with not just vanilla but some pure orange extract. It was delicious! Consistency was perfect!   The first time I made this this for my daughter-in-law's shower. I made white chocolate raspberry cupcakes, filled with some of your frosting (mixed with some raspberry preserves) and topped with the frosting. I flavored the frosting with raspberry and coconut emulsion.  It was a grand hit 😊

Super easy to make and absolutely delicious! This frosting took my sugar cookies to a whole new level.

I just made this and it's delicious.  Tried it on 2 gingerbread men to see how it hardens and if I have to adjust it. I need the frosting next week. can I store it at room temperature. Also if it doesn't harden can I add meringue powder instead of powder sugar? Thanks!

Yes, that is my understanding.  I ended up using the entire 4 cups of sugar and 3 Tbsp of milk and I loved the consistency.
