Kid Friendly Jello Frosting!!

UPDATE: New carbohydrate gratuitous pick at the destination of this post.

UPDATE: Since posting this on Pinterest, a few people direct hold commented that  this frosting deflated on them afterward a day at room temperature. I've never had this problem, because I alive inwards a DRY climate, but those of yous living in HUMID climates are having this problem. So... if yous alive inwards a humid climate, you'll involve to shop the frosted cake in the fridge.

This frosting recipe has a lot of things going for it. It is fast, super light, smoothen together with creamy on the natural language (very similar to a seven infinitesimal frosting, but hence much easier). Neatest of all, is that it is flavored amongst jello, hence yous tin teach inwards in ANY Jello flavour yous like...watermelon? blueberry? pina colada? Kids volition LOVE this frosting.

3 ounce pkg. of Jello (favorite flavor)
2/3 loving cup granulated sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 loving cup BOILING water

Place the Jello powder, granulated sugar, egg white together with vanilla inwards a GLASS OR METAL mixing bowl of a stand upwardly mixer. DO NOT USE PLASTIC together with brand certain your drinking glass or metallic bowl is build clean of whatever grease or oil.

Turn the mixer on HIGH together with immediately add together the one-half loving cup of BOILING water. Whip on high for 5 minutes together with yous volition teach this:

 NOTE: This recipe alone seems to operate if yous purpose a  stand upwardly mixer, amongst whisk attachment. Also, brand certain yous purpose a drinking glass or metallic mixing bowl, practice non effort this amongst a plastic bowl.

NOTE: Some people direct hold commented that they don't mean value raw egg whites are prophylactic for children to eat. The egg whites inwards this recipe are no longer raw afterward yous add together the BOILING WATER.

NOTE: This recipe makes plenty to frost 24 cupcakes, or a nine x xiii cake. If yous are going to practice whatever piping or edges, yous mightiness direct hold to double the recipe.

NOTE: This frosting pipes beautifully together with holds its shape well. Like whatever seven infinitesimal type frosting, it does teach a lilliputian sticky/tacky the 2nd day, hence its best if yous teach inwards the twenty-four hours yous desire to serve it. If yous direct hold to teach inwards the nighttime before, but shop it inwards an airtight container that doesn't acquit upon the frosting.


NOTE: This frosting has hence many fun possibilities for birthday cakes/cupcakes. It would also brand a wonderful filling.

SUGAR FREE FROSTING OPTION

Since putting this recipe on Pinterest, I direct hold heard from several people who are wondering well-nigh the possibility of carbohydrate gratuitous jello together with Splenda...well, I had to effort it.

First of all, we didn't similar it equally much equally the master copy recipe (with regular jello together with granulated sugar). The gustation was good, but the texture of the carbohydrate gratuitous version + Splenda was but a lilliputian also foamy for us (that didn't halt us from eating it though...lol)

I followed the master copy recipe, substituting exact amounts amongst the carbohydrate gratuitous products

I used 2/3 loving cup of granulated Splenda, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon vanilla together with a pocket-size (4 serving) size box of carbohydrate gratuitous jello.  I mixed those items together inwards my stand upwardly mixer together with added 1/2 loving cup of BOILING (not but hot) H2O piece the mixer was running on HIGH. Let the boiling H2O run downwards the within of the mixing bowl, hence it cools off a couplet degree's earlier hitting the egg white.

Mix on HIGH setting for at to the lowest degree 5 minutes (will direct hold longer if yous are inwards a humid climate). After 5 minutes, my frosting looked similar this:

It was really foamy, together with almost tasted similar a sweetness fruity meringue.  It silent pipes nicely, here's an example:

I'm  non certain whats upwardly amongst the sparkle; the in conclusion frosting DID direct hold a "fairy tale shine" to it, together with I idea maybe it might have a granular taste, but it didn't; it was really smooth.

I  permit this frosting sample ready out at room temperature for several hours to run across if it would deflate (it didn't), but it did shape a VERY THIN crispy crust (keep inwards heed I'm inwards a dry out climate). I also seat a similar frosting sample (uncovered) inwards the refrigerator together with afterward a few hours, at that topographic point was NO appreciable divergence betwixt it and the sample I kept at room temperature.

It's difficult to explicate the oral fissure experience of this carbohydrate gratuitous frosting, maybe a photograph volition help:

I cutting the frosting sample inwards half... it tasted form of similar a cross betwixt a sweetness meringue together with a moisture marshmallow whip... does that brand sense?

My conclusion: We liked the original recipe better, however, if your dietary concerns require a carbohydrate gratuitous frosting, this is worth a try!!
