Edible Royal Frosting Recipe

The edible royal frosting recipe can be used for gingerbread houses as well as cookies. But unlike the traditional recipe that uses raw egg whites, this recipe uses meringue powder, which is perfectly safe to eat!

2 cups powdered sugar
4 teaspoons meringue powder
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Food coloring if desired

Medium bowl
Mixer

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients.
Step 2: Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined.
