Just got a chance to read about the 7-minute icing. I have been making it for many many years. For more than 30 years my daughter has had an angel food cake, sliced and layered with chocolate pudding, and frosted with 7-minute frosting for her birthday. Used to use the boxed frosting if I was in a rush, but made from scratch is best. I discovered your method a couple years ago, but even better is that it is cooked in the microwave and poured over the meringue. I use a 4-cup pyrex measuring cup to cook it; makes it easy to pour over the meringue. Now if you would come up with something that isn't always chocolate. I get migraines from chocolate and would love to have some alternates to it.
