You need:
6 large egg whites
1 ½ cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ pounds soften unsalted butter
To make:
In an heat proof mixer bowl, set over simmering water, place your egg whites and sugar. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a temperature of 160º. Remove from heat and mix on a high speed until it forms a meringue (perks start to form). Beat in the vanilla extract and the butter ( 2 tablespoons at a time) on a low speed. Beat until smooth.
It is like silk and makes a generous amount. I always keep it refrigerated unless I am using it to decorate, it is easier to pipe while at room temperature.
