454g sugar
225g egg whites
550g butter - unsalted
1 Tbsp vanilla
Put the egg whites and sugar in a Kitchen Aid bowl and put the bowl over boiling water.
Stir with a whisk while bringing the mixture to 60C or until the mixture loses its grittiness, the sugar has dissolved and it is hot to the touch.
Take off heat and using the
whip attachment whip until cool - approximately 5-7 minutes.
Nice and thick and fluffy!
Gradually add the butter
and then vanilla.
Tadaaa! A beautiful buttercream that looks like thick whipped cream, tastes great and is easy to use!!!

Hi Susan, Thanks for posting! I made this a while back and loved how easy it was to use to cover a cake but found it too 'buttery' tasting. I'm not a fan of alcohol taste in my icings... any other suggestions?

Hi Maria,
I love to add melted chocolate, white or dark, to my buttercream for flavour. I also add water to instant coffee and make a paste and add that for flavour. Fruit purees work well, too - mango, raspberry, strawberry. If you don't mind working with shortening you can always substitute some of the butter with the shortening. That substitution will make it more stable in hot climates and also prevent the buttercream from getting hard if you put it in the fridge. Cheers, Susan
