Frequently asked questions
Can meringue powder be used for royal icing?
No, its consistency, sweeter and less firm than pure egg white powder, is not suitable for royal icing. For royal icing, use our 125 g Egg White Powder.
What is the difference between meringue powder and egg white powder?
Meringue powder already contains sugar and stabilizing additives (thickener E466, acid E330), making it ready for meringues and pavlovas. Pure egg white powder, with no added sugar, is more versatile and suitable for royal icing.

Yes, mix 190 g of vegetable fat, 35 g of water, 450 g of powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of meringue powder, then add 40 g of water until smooth.
