Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar?
Yes, you can substitute powdered sugar for granulated sugar. However, it may affect the texture slightly. Start with a 1:1 ratio and adjust as needed, but keep in mind that powdered sugar can create a sweeter frosting.
What can I do if my frosting is too runny?
If your frosting is too runny, try adding more marshmallow cream or a bit of powdered sugar to thicken it. Be cautious with the amount, as small adjustments can significantly change the consistency.
Is there a vegan alternative for this recipe?
To make a vegan version, you can substitute the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas). Use about 3 tablespoons of aquafaba for every egg white, and whip it until stiff peaks form before mixing in the other ingredients.
