UPDATE: New saccharide costless pick at the terminate of this post.

UPDATE: Since posting this on Pinterest, a few people receive got commented that  this frosting deflated on them subsequently a day at room temperature. I've never had this problem, because I alive inward a DRY climate, but those of you lot living in HUMID climates are having this problem. So... if you lot alive inward a humid climate, you'll involve to shop the frosted cake in the fridge.

This frosting recipe has a lot of things going for it. It is fast, super light, polish in addition to creamy on the natural language (very similar to a seven infinitesimal frosting, but then much easier). Neatest of all, is that it is flavored alongside jello, then you lot tin shipping away become far inward ANY Jello flavour you lot like...watermelon? blueberry? pina colada? Kids volition LOVE this frosting.

SUGAR FREE FROSTING OPTION

Since putting this recipe on Pinterest, I receive got heard from several people who are wondering virtually the possibility of saccharide costless jello in addition to Splenda...well, I had to endeavor it.

First of all, we didn't similar it equally much equally the master copy recipe (with regular jello in addition to granulated sugar). The gustatory modality was good, but the texture of the saccharide costless version + Splenda was only a lilliputian likewise foamy for us (that didn't halt us from eating it though...lol)

I followed the master copy recipe, substituting exact amounts alongside the saccharide costless products

I used 2/3 loving cup of granulated Splenda, ane egg white, ane teaspoon vanilla in addition to a small-scale (4 serving) size box of saccharide costless jello.  I mixed those items together inward my stand upward mixer in addition to added 1/2 loving cup of BOILING (not only hot) H2O piece the mixer was running on HIGH. Let the boiling H2O run downwards the within of the mixing bowl, then it cools off a span degree's earlier hitting the egg white.

Mix on HIGH setting for at to the lowest degree 5 minutes (will receive got longer if you lot are inward a humid climate). After 5 minutes, my frosting looked similar this:

It was real foamy, in addition to almost tasted similar a sweetness fruity meringue.  It soundless pipes nicely, here's an example:

I'm  non certain whats upward alongside the sparkle; the concluding frosting DID receive got a "fairy tale shine" to it, in addition to I idea possibly it might have a granular taste, but it didn't; it was real smooth.

I  allow this frosting sample ready out at room temperature for several hours to run into if it would deflate (it didn't), but it did shape a VERY THIN crispy crust (keep inward hear I'm inward a dry out climate). I also position a similar frosting sample (uncovered) inward the refrigerator in addition to subsequently a few hours, in that place was NO appreciable departure betwixt it and the sample I kept at room temperature.

It's difficult to explicate the oral fissure experience of this saccharide costless frosting, maybe a photograph volition help:

I cutting the frosting sample inward half... it tasted form of similar a cross betwixt a sweetness meringue in addition to a moisture marshmallow whip... does that brand sense?

My conclusion: We liked the original recipe better, however, if your dietary concerns require a saccharide costless frosting, this is worth a try!!
