Ingredients

- Beat with an electric mixer over boiling water until soft peaks form.
- Add the marshmallow creme.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of grease, as any fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. If you don't have marshmallow creme, you can substitute with 7 ounces of melted marshmallows mixed with a bit of corn syrup. This frosting is perfect for topping cakes, cupcakes, or even as a dip for fruits.
Serving Suggestions
This delightful frosting is perfect for topping off chocolate or vanilla cakes and pairs beautifully with Pumpkin Pie(Grandpa'S Favorite) for a festive touch. Consider using it to fill layer cakes or as a dip for cookies. It's also an excellent choice for decorating cupcakes at parties or special occasions.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Angel Mallow Frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm it in the microwave for just a few seconds, then re-whip with a mixer to restore its fluffy texture before using again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a hand mixer instead of an electric mixer?
Yes, you can use a hand mixer, but it may take longer to achieve the desired peaks. Just ensure you beat the mixture vigorously until it reaches the right consistency, especially over the boiling water to maintain the heat.
What can I substitute for egg whites in this recipe?
You can use aquafaba, the liquid from canned chickpeas, as a vegan alternative. Three tablespoons of aquafaba is equivalent to one egg white. Whip it until it forms stiff peaks just like egg whites for a dairy-free version of this frosting.
How can I make this frosting more stable for outdoor events?
To increase the stability of your frosting, consider adding a bit of powdered sugar or cornstarch to the mixture. This will help it hold its shape better in warmer conditions. Additionally, serving it chilled can also aid in maintaining its structure.
