I’m in love with meringue frosting. It’s fluffy, it tastes really good, like flavored air and it’s super simple to make. I actually didn’t even realize it was a thing. I mean, I only knew of meringue on top of lemon meringue pie. Then I started making meringue cookies and I thought to myself, WOW! this would make a great frosting. Clearly, I didn’t invent meringue frosting but for a brief second, I thought I came up with something new BAHAHAHAHAHA. Need fresh eggs? Make sure to check out Milk and Eggs
