7 Minute Icing Recipe

With hand mixer, beat egg whites until foamy in the top of a double boiler, set about 2" from the simmering water.

Beat in remaining ingredients and continue beating for about seven minutes (hence the name) or until temperature on a candy thermometer reaches 160 F and soft peaks form. Remove top of double boiler and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
