I found this recipe on food network, but ti calls for me to use a double boiler to create a frosting.. Must i use the double boiler? Or could i just put the ingredients into a stand mixer and whip it? Would it work just as fine? Please let me know asap!
So you don't burn or scorch the food.
a double boiler limits the temperature of the food to the boiling point of water. around 212 deg F depending on barometric pressure. even running the burner on high can't make it any hotter in the top pot.
