THE FLUFFIEST MARSHMALLOW FROSTING EVER
This is a modification of a recipe I found online somewhere, which is basically a riff on the regular 7 minute boiled frosting. It produces the best, fluffiest frosting ever, holds shape extremely well and takes color like nobody's business! This is my new go-to cupcake icing, for sure!

Steps:
- 1. In a double boiler, or using a heat resistant glass mixing bowl over a pot of boiling water (it has to be a pretty tight fit, and the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water!) mix together the sugar, water, egg whites, cream of tartar and corn syrup. Use a hand mixer on slow speed and scrape bowl occasionally.
- 2. I normally start mixing before the water comes to a boil. Beat until all sugar is dissolved. Mixture will thicken and become pure white and foamy looking. Continue beating at medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- 3. Melt marshmallow chunks in the microwave. ( I use the "melt chocolate" setting on mine). Mix the melted marshmallows into the frosting and beat until all mixed in. Remove from heat.
- 4. You can pipe or spread this icing. Because it is super white, it takes color really well. You could also add flavour for extra pizzaz.
