Egg Free Royal Icing Recipes

EGGLESS ROYAL ICING

Steps:

• Mix confectioner's sugar and water in a glass bowl until no lumps. Note: You can make this icing by hand but using an electric mixer or a stand mixer makes the mixing process a breeze.
• Add light corn syrup and mix until incorporated.
• Stir in lemon juice and mix until incorporated. NOTE: Check consistency; after mixing the ingredients together, drag the tip of a butter knife through the surface of your icing. If it takes 8 - 10 seconds to settle flat, you are good. If it's too thick, add more water (about a teaspoon at a time). If it's too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners' sugar. Continue adding more until you reach the consistency you'd like.
• Use the white icing as it is, or divide the icing into several bowls and add gel food coloring. See notes for different consistencies.
• Use immediately, or store in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the icing for up to 3 days. Stir gently with a spatula before using.
• Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the aquafaba and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until it reaches medium peaks, 5 to 8 minutes
• Add confectioner's sugar; mix until well incorporated.
• Add lemon juice and mix to incorporate. NOTE: Check consistency; after mixing the ingredients together, drag the tip of a butter knife through the surface of your icing. If it takes 8 - 10 seconds to settle flat, you are good. If it's too thick, add more water (about a teaspoon at a time). If it's too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners' sugar. Continue adding more until you reach the consistency you'd like.

ROYAL ICING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the powdered sugar, milk and egg whites with an electric mixer until thick and glossy. Add more powdered sugar if the icing seems too thin (the size of the eggs can affect consistency). Just play with it until it's right. The icing should be stiff enough to "stand still" and not run when piped.
