Recipe View 8 mins Place the bowl over a saucepan filled with about 2 inches of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. This creates a double boiler. With a hand mixer or the stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it forms stiff, glossy peaks. This may take 7-10 minutes, depending on your equipment and the humidity.

Recipe View 4 mins Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting has cooled slightly and thickened further, about 3-5 minutes. It should be spreadable and hold its shape well.

For best results, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature. This helps them whip to a greater volume.
Be patient during the cooking process; the frosting needs to reach the correct temperature to be stable.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
The corn syrup helps prevent crystallization, resulting in a smoother frosting.
