Description

Royal icing is a versatile icing that can be used in many different ways. It's perfect for decorating cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. However, traditional royal icing recipes require the use of raw egg whites, which can be a concern for some people due to the risk of salmonella. This easy egg-free royal icing recipe is a great alternative that is safe to eat and just as tasty as the traditional recipe.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

0 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar (sifted)
  • 3-4 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Piping bags (optional)
  • Piping tips (optional)

Method

  1. In a large bowl, sift the confectioners' sugar to remove any lumps.
  2. Add the water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
  3. If the mixture is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
  4. If you want to color the icing, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until it's evenly distributed.
  5. Your egg-free royal icing is now ready to use! You can use a piping bag and tip to decorate your cookies or cakes, or you can simply spread it on with a spatula.

Notes

This recipe makes enough icing to cover about 24 cookies, depending on how much you use on each one. If you're not using all of the icing right away, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature and give it a good stir before using it again.
