- Put egg whites and cream of tartar in an electric mixer bowl and beat on high for about 30 seconds or till combined and there are no lumps.
- Add sifted icing sugar and mix on medium for around 10 minutes. Icing should be thick.
- Add the Squeezed NZ Blackcurrant fruit syrup to the icing. Stir to combine.
- Decorate as desired. Leave on a cooling rack to dry completely.
