Swiss Meringue Buttercream Recipe

Name: Swiss Meringue Buttercream Recipe
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 5 Egg; 2 cups Butter; 1 ½ cups Sugar; 1 pinch Salt; 1 tsp Vanilla

Ingredients

Put the egg whites, sugar and salt in a bowl and whisk briefly.
Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bowl. Whisk occasionally as it warms, then whisk constantly once warm. Heat until it reaches 160°F or until it feels smooth, not grainy, between your fingers.
Move the bowl to a stand mixer and whisk until glossy peaks form and the meringue is at room temperature.
Switch to the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, add room-temperature butter one tablespoon at a time, letting each piece incorporate before adding the next.
Once all the butter is incorporated, add the vanilla extract. Transfer to a piping bag or a zip-top bag to store in the refrigerator or freezer.
