This one was a hard one to create. I have done a lot of research trying to find a recipe by someone else but I just couldn’t! The standard way to make royal icing is with egg whites but with an egg allergy that is a no no for us. The go to vegan solution seems to be to use aquafiba unfortunately that is another no for us, as this is the brine from a tin of chickpeas, which is another one of my boys allergies. The next suggestion I found was nut butter but again allergic!!
So I got thinking about egg replacers and thought I would give that a go instead. There is a link in the recipe to the one I used. It tells you how to mix it depending on if its for a whole egg, egg white or egg yolk. In this case you want to mix it as if you were using two egg whites. It is not the same as the original recipe but it still tastes good.
