1 How to Make Syrup Frosting from Egg Whites
Preparation
15 minutes Cooking
30 minutes Servings

Ingredients for Syrup Frosting
Ingredients for Syrup Frosting
- 350gr sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 150ml water
- 5gr salt
Tip:
– Pay close attention to the syrup cooking process, as this is the most important step in making syrup frosting from egg whites.

How to Make Syrup Frosting from Egg Whites
Making the Syrup
In a pot, add 350gr of sugar and 150ml of water, along with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Cook the syrup over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously. When you see tiny bubbles on the surface, reduce the heat and continue cooking until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened.
Separating the Eggs
Carefully break the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure the yolks don’t mix with the whites, as this will prevent the whites from whipping properly.
Whipping the Egg Whites
Add 5gr of salt to the egg whites and whip them until stiff peaks form. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip the egg whites. Continue whipping until the mixture is stiff and forms peaks.
Combining the Syrup and Egg Whites
Once the syrup has reached the right consistency, slowly pour it into the whipped egg whites while continuing to whip the mixture.
Make sure to work quickly while the syrup is still hot, and whip the mixture for about 5-7 minutes to cook the egg whites.
