How to Make Fluffy Boiled Icing
- In a large bowl, beat meringue powder and cold water with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (approximately 4 minutes).
- In a large, microwave-safe measuring cup, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water.
- Microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds until the mixture comes to a rolling boil (approximately 2-3 minutes).
- Carefully remove the hot syrup from the microwave. Let it cool slightly (about 30 seconds).
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the hot syrup into the meringue mixture.
- Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 4 minutes, or until the icing is thick, glossy, and stiff.
- **Alternative Stovetop Method:** Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and cool slightly (about 30 seconds) before proceeding to step 5.
