Wilton "EU" Meringue Powder 113g

Product Information

Butter– I like using unsalted butter. And yet, if salted butter is all you have, go ahead and use it. I tried, and it still works. Since the purpose of meringue powder is to make the baking processes become faster and easier to do. The way to use meringue powder is very simple. The basic sugar cookie icing recipe is white, but you can turn it into almost any color with the addition of food coloring. It’s best to use a gel food coloring, since you don’t want to add any additional liquid as that will change the consistency of the icing. My favorite gel colors to use can be found here. Pour the syrup carefully– Try to pour the sugar syrup between the bowl and the whisk. If you run the mixer on medium-low that is easily achievable. And if you run the mixer on high you must be very very careful not to scald yourself.

Cake Pops and Truffles: Dip cake pops or roll truffles in Italian meringue buttercream before coating them in chocolate or sprinkles. The buttercream acts as a binder and adds a luscious creaminess to the center. Hi Gaylene, SUCH a good question! I should do a post just taste testing meringue powder. I used Americolor for a long time (because they sent me a bunch for free) which I liked, and I use Wilton (because I’m cheap), but chefmaster is a good one.

Genie’s Dream kept its shape, fuller and puffier. This was one of the most important aspects I took away from this experiment since it really impacts the overall finished look of the cookie. I know when I’m decorating, I want the icing to hold up, keep its shape, have good puff and know that it’s not going to fall flat or spread by the time it dries. You’ll see the differences here in these photos. Genie’s Dream is on the left and Wilton is on the right in each picture.

Use a candy thermometer. It is important to get the sugar temperature right so you do need a thermometer. If you do not own a candy thermometer, I highly recommend making Swiss Meringue Buttercream SMBC. It is also a meringue buttercream with a more forgiving method. Add 1 cup fruit puree to 4 (or 6) cups buttercream. I love adding a fruit filling instead, which makes it slightly sweeter, and yet also more rich and vibrant in color. Hi Sue, I’m not sure butter would have the same consistency, but given it’s such a small amount, I think it would be OK to try. The icing may not dry as hard. But it would make more of a buttercream/royal icing mixture that would taste great.

Even so, egg white powder has the ability to provide most of what you want from meringue powder. You can use it in the same applications. Not only does it pose no food safety risks since it is pasteurized, it is easy to reconstitute and to use exactly as you would use meringue powder. Of course, you will need to add stabilizers and sweeteners, as well as any other ingredients that you would get from meringue powder. Use 1 1/2 cups of aquafaba in place every cup of meringue powder in your recipe. You can use it exactly as you would use egg whites, so you will need to add sweeteners and possibly vanilla to it.
