Directions
- 1
Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer: egg whites, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and emulsifier.
- 2
Beat on high speed for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes white, glossy, and stiff, with a fluffy marshmallow-like texture.
- 3
Test the consistency by lifting the whisk — the marshmallow should hold firm peaks. If it's still soft, continue beating for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- 4
Use immediately with a piping bag to frost cakes and cupcakes, or spread into a powdered-sugar-lined pan and let set for 1 hour before cutting into cubes.
💡 Chef's Tip
Room-temperature egg whites whip up much better than cold ones — take them out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before starting. The emulsifier is essential for achieving that signature firm, creamy marshmallow consistency.
