whipped marshmellow frosting
A blast from the past, I found this in my grandmother's handwritten recipes. Once I made it, great childhood memories came flooding back. My grandmother loved to bake. This frosting is great on a chocolate or gingerbread cake. Quick to make it will soon become a family favorite, replacing the more traditional frostings you might have been used to using.

How To Make whipped marshmellow frosting
-
Step 1Into a double boiler, add water, sugar, eggwhites
-
Step 2Stir ingredients to mix.
-
Step 3Using a beater, beat constantly for 7 minutes. You will see the mix will become frothy then more dense and fluffy.
-
Step 4At about minute 4, add cream of tartar. Keep beating mix until minute 7.
-
Step 5Remove from over hot water source, add your choice of flavoring and coloring (if desired).
-
Step 6Beat to cool for about 4 minutes. The mix will now be a soft but stiff peak seen when lifting the mixer out of the mix.
-
Step 7Spread onto cupcakes or cake. If you let it set and don't spread it, it will continue to firm up into a marshmallow form.
