This is an easy recipe for Thermomix Royal Icing which you can use to decorate sugar cookies or stick gingerbread houses together. Make it colourful with a few drops of food colouring.
We love making all our icing in the Thermomix, just like this Chocolate Buttercream and plain Buttercream Icing.
Why We Love This Recipe
- Super versatile and straightforward.
- It can be made and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Ingredients
- Egg white - at room temperature.
- Lemon juice - use fresh lemon juice.
- Icing sugar - also known as confectioners sugar. Use store-bought instead of making your own in the Thermomix, as it won't be as silky smooth.
