Read all instructions prior to making this recipe.
Place the egg whites and granulated sugar in a heat safe bowl (Use your meal stand mixer bowl, if you have a stand mixer).
Place about 1 inch of water in the bottom of a small sauce pan.
Place the sauce pan on the stove top and heat the water over medium high heat until it starts to simmer.
Once the water starts to simmer, reduce the heat to medium low.
Place the heat safe bowl with the egg whites and sugar above of the simmering water (not into the water, just above the water) and whisk continually with an electric hand mixer for about 3 minutes.
The egg whites will become bright white, fluffy and creamy. Remove the bowl from the heat and check to see if all of the sugar has dissolved by rubbing a small amount in between your fingers. It should not feel grainy at all. If it still feels grainy, place the bowl back over the heat and continue whisking for another 30 seconds to a minute.
Once the sugar has completely dissolved, remove from the heat and turn the burner off.
If using a stand mixer, attach the bowl to the mixer and start mixing with the whisk attachment. If you don't have a stand mixer, just continue using your electric hand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and then turn the speed up as high as it will go and mix until thick, glossy peaks form.
The frosting is now ready to use! Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
