Ingredients
- 1 egg white

Instructions
-
Prepare the Egg White:
- Start by lightly whisking the egg white in a clean, dry bowl until it becomes frothy and slightly foamy.
-
Incorporate Confectioners’ Sugar:
- Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the egg white, whisking continuously. The goal is to achieve a smooth and thick consistency that forms soft peaks. Adjust the amount of sugar as needed to achieve the desired thickness.
-
Cover and Store:
- Once the icing reaches the desired consistency, cover the surface with plastic wrap directly touching the icing. This helps prevent a crust from forming while you prepare your decorating tools or await its use.
-
Usage:

-
Tips:
- For a thicker icing suitable for detailed piping, add more confectioners’ sugar until you reach the desired stiffness.
- If the icing becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding a few drops of water or lemon juice and mixing until incorporated.
