Vanilla Bean Frosting

I have a super exciting frosting recipe today. Honestly, I am not much of a frosting person myself, which is why I think all my muffin posts have been without frosting. However I wanted to try something new. This frosting is quite heavy – but maybe that is just my opinion as a non-frosting-person. I do really love that this recipe is with the actual vanilla bean stalk instead of just essence of extract. It was also really simple to make. 

Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites
• 3 dl sugar
• 1 vanilla bean stalk
• optional: food colouring 

Directions:

1. In a pan add water and bring to a heat
2. In a steel bowl add all the ingredients and put over the pan as a double boiler
3. Whip by hand until the sugar has dissolved
4. Remove from heat and whip it with an electric whip until the bowl no longer feels hot.
5. Add food colouring and whip about another minute
6. Serve on cakes or cupcakes
