Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup water
  • teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg whites room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Add water, corn syrup and salt to a small saucepan. Pour sugar into the center of the pot, being careful not to get any on the sides. Stir together and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil until temperature reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, add egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Begin to whip the eggs to a soft peak at medium speed.
  • When syrup reaches 240°F, reduce mixer speed to low and slowly drizzle in about 2Tbsp of the hot syrup to warm the egg white. Slowly drizzle in the rest of the syrup, then increase the speed of mixer to medium high. Whip until the mixer is stiff and glossy, about 7 minutes. Add vanilla and mix for 2 more minutes. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
