Marilyn...wrong frosting!! Re: date cake and meringue frosting...refrigerated?

[Guest guest]

Marilyn, I asked about the wrong frosting. She made this from

www.nourishinggourmet.com. Do you still think this should be refrigerated?

She's concerned about the texture of the frosting getting weird. Thanks so

much. I'm trying to help her b/c she actually made this for me! BTW...she

said she would definitely cut back the honey next time...it's REALLY sweet.

Honey Vanilla Seven Minute Frosting

3 egg whites

2/3 cup of honey (I used a scant two-thirds a cup)

pinch of salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

Put the unbeaten egg whites, honey, and salt into the top of a double boiler

over hot water. Beat with an electric beater on medium to high speed, while you

bring the water to a boil. Continue to beat for 7 minutes, or until the mixture

forms soft mounds. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla slowly and continue

beating until frosting is stiff enough to hold it's shape.
