JELLO FROSTING!!

KID FRIENDLY JELLO FROSTING!!

NOTE: Since I posted this recipe last year, I have had a lot of people write to me saying they LOVE the recipe, however 2  other people wrote to say that this recipe did not work for them. Since it has ALWAYS worked for me, I did some investigating and found that those 2 people used a small hand held mixers (I always use my big stand mixer with a wire whisk attachment). I was glad to hear that, when the women who wrote to me, switched to a stand mixer with wire whisk, the frosting turned out beautifully. Evidently, some brands of hand held mixers are not strong enough to whip this frosting correctly.

This frosting recipe has a lot of things going for it. It is fast, super light, smooth and creamy on the tongue (very similar to a 7 minute frosting, but so much easier). Neatest of all, is that it is flavored with jello, so you can make it in ANY Jello flavor you like...watermelon? blueberry? pina colada? Kids will LOVE this frosting.

3 ounce pkg. of Jello (favorite flavor)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla

Place the above ingredients in a large GLASS OR METAL mixing bowl (OF A STAND MIXER). Turn the mixer on high just as you add ½ cup of boiling water. Whip on high for five minutes and you will get this:

 NOTE: This recipe only seems to work if you use a  stand mixer, with whisk
attachment. Also, make sure you use a glass or metal mixing bowl, do not try this with a plastic bowl.

NOTE: Some people have commented that they don't think raw egg whites are safe for children to eat. The egg whites in this recipe are no longer raw after you add the BOILING WATER.

NOTE: This recipe makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes, or a 9 x 13 cake. If you are going to do any piping or edges, you might have to double the recipe.

NOTE: This frosting pipes beautifully and holds its shape well. Like any 7 minute type frosting, it does get a little sticky/tacky the second day, so its best if you make it the day you want to serve it. If you have to make it the night before, just store it in an airtight container that doesn't touch the frosting.

NOTE: This frosting has so many fun possibilities for birthday cakes/cupcakes. It would also make a wonderful filling.
