Egg white royal icing

This version of royal icing using Egg White Protein isn’t as stiff as traditional versions, but it does dry and set. Mix it up with different colors and flavors for fun and make it any time with ingredients from the pantry—no need to separate eggs or worry about consuming raw egg whites.

Calories 33kcal

Ingredients

2Tbsp.Keto Chow Egg White Protein
2Tbsp.water* room temperature
2tsp.lemon juicefresh
1 1/4cupspowdered erythritolsifted (2.5 oz.)
1/2tsp.pure vanilla extract
gel food coloring

Instructions

Dissolve the Egg White Protein in the water and lemon juice, then whip with an electric mixer until frothy and light.
Add the erythritol and beat until all the erythritol is dissolved and the icing is smooth, and thick. The icing should fall in ribbons from a spoon or beater, standing on the surface of the icing in the bowl for a few seconds before melting back in.
Add the vanilla extract and stir well. If the icing is too thick to pipe, add more water 1/4 tsp. at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Add gel food coloring of choice in small amounts, using the tip of a toothpick to add a dab at a time until the desired color is reached. Try white gel icing coloring for a snow-white look to the icing.
Use icing immediately, as it will dry to a hard finish.

Notes

*To make a Lemon Royal Icing, replace one tablespoon of the water with an additional tablespoon of lemon juice, and add half a teaspoon lemon extract. Color icing with yellow food coloring if desired.Our recipes may contain links to affiliate websites, and Keto Chow receives an affiliate commission for any purchases made by you on the affiliate website using such links.
