Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine white sugar, water, lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a heavy-duty pot; bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, uncovered, stirring often until sugar and salt dissolve, about 3 minutes more. Remove pot from heat; let cool for 5 minutes; pour syrup into a large bowl.

Step 2

Add confectioners' sugar, egg white, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt to the bowl; beat until thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Add vanilla extract and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese; beat until smooth.
