Seven-Minute Icing
From Cook's Country
Fluffy Seven-Minute Icing is a thick, glossy frosting made from egg whites and sugar cooked together. Taking its name from the time it takes to beat the frosting over simmering water, our easy recipe is the perfect finishing touch to any cake or cupcake.

This recipe gets its name for the seven minutes that it takes to beat it over simmering water. In step 2, you can speed up the cooling down process by transferring the hot egg white mixture to a standing mixer and beat on medium-high speed until thick and stiff, about 5 minutes.
