MARSHMALLOW MERINGUE FROSTING, SUSPIRO de MARSHMALLOW

This is a marshmallow meringue frosting that is very white. It's ideal for frosting vanilla, chocolate, and rainbow cakes, cupcakes, pies, puddings etc. I am sure you'll enjoy it's light texture and tasty flavor. It is thicker than the regular merengue frosting I use and shinier. I recommend working fast when covering a cake because the gelatin in the marshmallows makes it  a little difficult to manage with a spatula, but with a pastry bag it is "a piece of cake"!

Mashmallow Meringue Frosting

Ingredients:
15 Large Marshmallows
2 tablespoons warm water
2 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)
1 cup sugar
pinch of salt
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla




Preparation: 
1. Bring the marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of warm water to a double boiler (Bain Marie), stirring just until melted and thickened.
2. In a saucepan bring the cup of sugar, salt and ¼ cup water until it forms a thick syrup to make a meringue.
3. When the syrup begins to thicken, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, continue beating on high speed, while you add the syrup in a slow continuous stream.
4. Let beat for two minutes then add diluted marshmallows and vanilla and beat until it forms strong peaks and cools down.  DONE!
