Vanilla Frosting or buttercream Recipe
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Cooking time: None

Chef's Note
To replace the egg whites, you can buy meringue powder in specialty shops. Use 6 Tbsp. combined with 12 Tbsp. water.
The preparation time may seem long, but it's necessary to give the frosting its lightness.
