Wilton "EU" Meringue Powder 113g

Product Information

The ingredients of meringue powder include dried egg whites, sugar, cornstarch, citric acid, and some kinds of stabilizers to hold the peaks. My site is about decorated cookies, marshmallow art, and other easy, fun food crafts for every occasion and holiday. Now you already have in mind 10 ingredients that can substitute meringue powder in case you do not have it in your kitchen. Although using egg whites may take more time, it is even a better option than meringue powder because eggs are natural and have a tasty flavor.

Once you’ve piped and filled your decorated sugar cookies, you’ll have to wait for the icing to dry. These 10 substitutes will help you to replace it while keeping the same flavor for your favorite dessert. Also, note that you can pipe with chilled buttercream but if not kept chilled they will become soft overtime as well. Dessert Toppings: Use Italian meringue buttercream as a topping for desserts like pies, tarts, or even pancakes and waffles.Besides your regular old meringue cookies, you can get creative with royal icing, or even use meringue powder to replace ingredients in another recipe. Decorated cookies will last about the same length of time, but for best results, I suggest baking and decorating cookies within a few days of serving or gifting, unless you freeze the cookies.

The consistency is thicker than is used for flooding, but you may thin this icing with water to make it the right consistency for flooding.I like to make my royal icing on the thick side (so if you overturn a spoonful, it clings to the spoon and only slowly falls back into the bowl) because it’s much easier to thin icing later with water than it is to thicken with confectioner’s sugar.

If you make your sugar cookie icing with meringue powder, the icing lasts in sealed container at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks.This way, I knew we’d be able to accurately compare the color results with controlled amounts of icing and coloring. Simply add as directed to your royal icing or meringue recipe, or use the helpful conversion formula on the package to use it as an egg white replacement.
