This is delicious, light to the taste just like a marshmallow cream but better! A failproof frosting that has been around for ages. This luscious and thick frosting is perfect to use for cakes and cupcakes. I used it countless times, the only trick is that you have to use it instantly because it sets quickly. I have seen this recipe a lot for a seven-minute frosting on the internet but I learned it from my grandma. She has been making this as far as I can remember. And it is good! A classic meringue, marshmallow-like frosting that is super light, feathery, and holds perfect peaks. An astonishing frosting that made completely from scratch using a few simple ingredients; sugar, cold water, egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract whipped up to perfection! Another keeper recipe.

How to make Seven Minute Frosting
Step 1: Combine the sugar, water, egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium glass bowl.
Step 2: Put a saucepan with water on a stove and let the water come to a simmer.
Step 3: In the meantime, beat the egg using an electric mixer for about 30 seconds on low. Then, set the bowl over the simmering pan of water just like a double boiler.
Step 4: Continue beating for about 7 minutes on high until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
Step 5: Remove the bowl from the heat and add in the vanilla. Beat for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 6: The frosting will quickly set, so use it immediately.
