Servings 2 pints

Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • candy thermometer
  • whisk
  • rubber spatula
  • large glass or metal bowl or stand mixing bowl
  • stand mixer or hand mixer
  • jar pint

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup water
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup corn syrup or glucose syrup
  • 2 egg whites
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Separate 2 egg whites into your large glass or metal mixing bowl and add cream of tartar.
  • In small saucepan, heat water, white sugar, and corn syrup or glucose syrup over medium-to-medium high heat until the candy thermometer reads 240°F while whisking occasionally. Ensure you are whisking clockwise to infuse your intention into the mixture.
  • While the white sugar mixture is heating, beat egg whites and cream of tartar mixture. You can do this with a stand mixer or hand mixer. I prefer hand so that I can control the rotation (there’s that clockwise motion again 😉). Do this for about 2 minutes on medium-high until soft peaks form.
  • Check sugar mixture and if the temperature has reached 240, pull from heat.
  • Turn your mixer on low and slowly add hot sugar to the egg whites.
  • Once all of the sugar mixture has been added, turn the mixer to medium-high and whip for 7-9 minutes until stiff peaks form. If you are using a hand mixer, you will know it’s almost done when the mixture begins to cake around the beaters even at high speeds. This is a great step in which to concentrate on your intention for the final product.
  • Stir in vanilla extract during the last minute or two of whipping. The mixture will be thick, sticky, and shiny white.
