Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, (3 sticks), softened, cut into tablespoons
2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Put egg whites and sugar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a pan of simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm (about 160 degrees).
  • Attach bowl to a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat egg white mixture on high speed until it forms stiff (but not dry) peaks. Continue beating until fluffy and cooled, about 6 minutes.
  • Switch to the paddle attachment. With mixer on medium-low, add butter several tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. (If frosting appears to separate after all butter has been added, beat on medium-high speed until smooth again, 3 to 5 minutes more.) Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low; beat 2 minutes to eliminate air bubbles. Stir with a rubber spatula until smooth.

I would not recommend this recipe. The Swiss meringue buttercream was bland and it didn't have any flavor.

This recipe is a waste of time. The Swiss meringue buttercream was too sweet and it didn't pair well with the macarons.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Swiss meringue buttercream curdled. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Swiss meringue buttercream turned out grainy. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as smooth and creamy as I wanted it to be.

I'm not a fan of Swiss meringue buttercream, but this recipe was actually pretty good. It was light and fluffy, and it didn't have that overly sweet taste that I usually find in Swiss meringue buttercream.

The Swiss meringue buttercream was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would probably use less sugar next time.
