I tried this frosting to compare to the buttercream. I don't feel the seven minute frosting was as successful as the buttercream. I was very loose; I'm sure I would worry about it falling off the cupcakes when frosting. It was slightly firmer than fluff. It also had a sticky, honey like (Fluff like, you could say) texture.
Besides the consistency, I didn't like the flavor. It was sharply sweet, like Fluff.
I think I appreciate more the Fluff flavor, than the frosting actually seeming like Fluff on a cupcake. The buttercream had a great Fluff flavor, but also a fresh strawberry flavor and the consistency of a buttercream.
Fluff Strawberry Seven Minute Frosting
2 oz Fluff (0.5 c)
1 ea egg white
2 7/8 oz sugar
3 drops lemon juice
1/16 t salt
3T sweetened strawberry juice
1/2 t vanilla
Combine all ingredients, except strawberry juice and vanilla over a hot water bath. Beat until soft peaks form. Remove from heat and continue beating until stiff. Beat in strawbery juice and vanilla.
