How to Make Basic Seven Minute Frosting And Or Peanut Butter Frosting

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water in the top bowl of a double boiler (or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water).
  2. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Place the bowl over simmering water (medium heat) and whisk constantly for 7 minutes, or until the frosting is thick, glossy, and forms stiff peaks when lifted from the bowl.
  4. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat vigorously with a whisk for 1-2 minutes until the frosting cools and thickens further.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. **For Peanut Butter Frosting:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter with about 1 cup of the prepared frosting until smooth. Gently fold in the remaining frosting using a rubber spatula until completely combined.
