Divinty Frosting

Category: Frosting

3 large egg whites, room temperature

Pinch salt

3 cups sugar

3/4 c water

3 tablespoons white corn syrup

3/4 teaspoon white vinegar

1/3 cup mini marshmallows (about 30)

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Pour the egg whites and salt into a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment. Beat the egg whites until smooth but not stiff; they should not form stiff peaks.

In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, 3/4 cup water, corn syrup and vinegar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then heat the mixture until it reaches the hard ball stage (265 degrees F on a candy thermometer), about 12 minutes. When done, the syrup will spin a long thread when poured off the edge of a spoon. Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the mini marshmallows. The mixture will be foamy. With the mixer running at high speed, stream the syrup into the egg whites. Beat well, and then beat in the vanilla.
