Ingredients
  

For the Syrup
  • 1 cup Water Provides the necessary moisture to create your sugar syrup.
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar The star of sweetness and structural integrity.
  • 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup Ensures a smooth texture by preventing crystallization.
For the Whipped Mixture
  • 2 large Egg Whites At room temperature for optimal results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Stabilizes the whipped egg whites.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For delightful flavor.

Equipment

  • heavy-bottom saucepan
  • candy thermometer
  • Stand Mixer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup. Heat over medium-high until bubbling, then cook undisturbed until it reaches 240°F.
  2. While syrup heats, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixer on medium for 3-4 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Once syrup is ready, slowly pour it into the whipped egg whites while mixing, avoiding splatter.
  4. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and whip for 7-8 minutes until thick and glossy, adding vanilla extract near the end.
  5. Let cool slightly in the bowl before transferring to an airtight container. Cool completely at room temperature.
