Healthwise

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 cup Sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons Water
1/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar
2 packages Sweet N Low
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

Combine sugar, water, Sweet N Low, egg whites, and cream of tartar in top of
a double boiler and beat at high speed for 1 minute. Set over simmering water
in the bottom of the double boiler. Continue to beat at high speed for 4-5
minutes or until soft peaks form.
Remove from heat. Add vanilla to frosting and continue beating at high speed
1-2 minutes or until thick enough to spread on a cooled cake. Use about 2 1/2
tablespoons per portion if frosting individually; or use this amount to frost
a 2-layer cake or a 9 inch square cake, both of which would then be cut into
16 equal servings. You can change the frosting easily by adding a couple
drops of food coloring and some flavoring, such as 2 drops of red coloring
and some peppermint flavoring. 1 serving = 1 vegetable (1-1 1/2 tablespoons
may be used as a topping for cake or pudding without counting it as an
exchange. calories = 23
