Method No Bake

Total Time 12

Equipment

Electric Hand Mixer

INGREDIENTS

3 Tbsp. Meringue Powder - 8 oz.
4 cups Confectioner's Sugar - about 1 Lb.
5 Tbsp. Warm Water - (See Notes)

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat all ingredients together until icing forms peaks. 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer (7-10 minutes at low speed with a stand mixer,).

Notes

Keep all utensils completely grease-free for proper icing consistency.

Use 1 Tbsp. less water when using a Stand Mixer OR for Stiff Icing:

Store Royal Icing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Before reusing, re-whip until it’s back to the correct consistency.

Meringue Powder is a must for this recipe. Do not substitute with raw egg whites (which can be a food safety issue) or dried egg whites; neither will produce the same results as Meringue Powder.
