How to Make Royal Icing Without Meringue Powder

Preparation time: 15 minutes; Cooking Time: N/A; Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3 cups confectioner’s sugar sifted
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • Coloring gel as desired

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the egg whites and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is bubbly.
  • Gradually add the sifted confectioner's sugar while whisking the mixture continuously until it forms a thick and shiny texture. This should take around 7-10 minutes.
  • If the icing is too thick, add a little water to thin it out, but do so slowly to avoid making it too runny.
  • Divide the icing into separate bowls and add your desired coloring gel. Mix well.
  • Once the icing is the desired consistency and color, transfer it to a piping bag or use a spoon to spread it onto your baked goods.
