Vegan royal icing/decorator icing?

[Guest guest]

I'm making chocolate cinnamon cookies to give away, and the icing

calls for an egg white... raw. I'm very leery of this and was hoping

someone had a vegan icing that would firmup better than just the

powdered sugar & liquid... anyone? Will Ener-G work?

 

Thanks in advance!

I am not sure about a vegan version but you can buy powdered egg whites or

meringue powder and this will work instead. The meringue powder is by Wilton

otherwise look in the baking aisle for Just Whites. These are just that and they

are safe when you don't want to use raw of which I agree it is very very risky

these days.

Hope this helps ya.

Oh, I forgot about those! I googled and found a recipe that called

for corn syrup instead of egg white... so if that works I won't need

the whites... but if it doesn't I'll be hunting some JustWhites! Thanks!

Hmmm.... that's an idea... thanks!

i always just make my regular recipe for buttercream

icing and then add extra almond milk so it is thinner

than how i would use it for cupcakes. It firms up after

you spread it on cookies and then allowed to set out

to dry before stacking them.

The recipe is easily vegan by using vegan margarine

and almond/soy milk. i have never used the egg white

recipes for icing.

i recall Martha Stewart had a recipe for decorator's icing,

and i think her's had cream of tartar in it. [?]

Would you like me to post the recipe i use?
