Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt don’t skip this

Instructions

  1. Place egg whites and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk until combined.
  2. Set bowl over a medium/large saucepan with 1-2" of simmering water and whisk until the mixture reads 160F (approx. 5 mins)
  3. Place bowl on your stand mixer and whisk on med-high until the meringue is stiff and cooled (approx. 10mins)). Add salt and vanilla and mix in.
  4. Slowly add cubed butter and mix until smooth.  If it doesn't taste quite sweet enough, you can add 1/4 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar.

Notes

  • If you are weaning from a really sweet buttercream, you can add 1/4 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, to taste
