Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, then gradually add the sifted powdered sugar while the mixer runs.

Increase to high speed and whip continuously for 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture is thick, white, and holds stiff peaks.

💡 Chef's Tip
Keep everything cold for the best volume and texture. If the frosting softens before use, refrigerate for 5 minutes and re-whip briefly. Store covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
