Instructions:
- Heat the granulated sugar, egg whites, and salt over a double boiler until the sugar is dissolved and everything is smooth; whisk constantly. (Remember: heat it slowly – to avoid egg scrambling.)
- Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until a peak forms (around 5 minutes) – the mixture should chill during the whisking.
- Then, turn the electric mixer to medium and place the softened butter, a little at a time. Fold in the mascarpone. Mix to combine.
- Next, apply the powdered sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, and rum, and beat until the texture is nice, smooth, and pipable. You are done!
- Now, you can frost your favorite cake or cupcakes; don’t forget to top with a dusting of cocoa powder.
Buon Appetito!
