How to Make Marshmallow Frosting

  1. In the top of a double boiler, whisk together 3 large egg whites, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon cream of tartar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup water.
  2. Place the double boiler over a pan of simmering water (ensure the bottom of the top pan doesn't touch the water). Beat the mixture constantly with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 7-10 minutes).
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently to ensure even mixing.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup marshmallow cream using a spatula until well combined.
  5. Continue beating with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes, until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
