Chefmaster Meringue Powder Deluxe, Professional-Grade Egg White Substitute for Meringue Cookies, Pie Filling, Royal Icing, Non-GMO, Easy-to-Use, Made in USA, 16 oz

Chefmaster Meringue Powder is an excellent product! Having the option to purchase a larger bag is a game changer for my sugar cookie business. I use this meringue powder to make royal icing, and I consistently achieve perfect results. For many years, I struggled to create the ideal royal icing, but this meringue powder is amazing. It produces a truly white, puffy royal icing that is a decorator's dream. I absolutely recommend Chefmaster Meringue Powder!Here's the royal icing recipe I use:- 8 cups powdered sugar- 1 cup room temperature water- 3 tablespoons corn syrup- 6 tablespoons meringue powder- 2 teaspoons powdered vanillaTo prepare, add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Start the mixer on low speed (1 or 2) to incorporate the ingredients. Then, increase the mixer speed to medium and mix for 5 minutes. (This step is crucial, so make sure to mix for the full 5 minutes!)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like the size of this package. If you don't bake all the time and need royal frosting regularly, this is the perfect size because it isn't enough to go bad between uses like some of the larger cans and bags. It works perfectly every time, not too crunchy and hard, but set so you can stack your cookies. And it doesn't have a bad flavor, picks up the sweetness of the powdered sugar so it comes out perfectly.

I dabble in cookies so I decided to try a new meringue powder and went with this one. It did the job but I noticed some small crystals in the icing every time I used this. The taste was great but for me I think I am going to stick to a brand I can pick up at the local grocery store.

I have been using Chefmaster Meringue Powder for years and I used to be very pleased with the results. Recently however, I’ve been experiencing issues when mixing. I now keep getting clumps in my royal icing, I’ve noticed that when first mixing the powder and water, it’s not fully incorporating and it’s clumping. Not sure if they changed the formula along with the packaging but I know my results are not what they used to be and that’s disappointing.

It's great!
