Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 extra-large egg whites
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 vanilla beans, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • In a large heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water, whisk together egg whites and sugar until sugar is melted and mixture reaches 140 degrees on a candy thermometer, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on high until stiff peaks form, 12 to 15 minutes. Add cream of tartar and beat for one minute more.
  • Reduce speed to medium and add butter, a few pieces at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and scrape vanilla bean seeds into mixture; beat until well combined, about 2 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator; chill for 15 minutes before using.

This frosting is a little too soft for my liking. I prefer a frosting that's a bit stiffer.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of buttercream frosting. But I'm so glad I did! This frosting is light and fluffy, and it doesn't have that heavy, greasy feeling that some buttercream frostings have.

This vanilla French buttercream frosting is simply divine! It's smooth, creamy, and has the perfect sweetness. I used it to frost my chocolate cupcakes and they were a huge hit with my friends and family.
