Although classic American buttercream is very easy to make, it's not just my favorite frosting. Period.

However, Swiss buttercream meringue is really a different story, because it is luxurious, soft, and like butter. And decorated with small vanilla seeds, this Swiss meringue buttercream is a dream!

I still won't eat it with a spoonful, but I will happily freeze my layer cake with this soft buttercream anytime.

The best Frostcream frost ever! (You know, cream cheese frosting will always be my favorite of all time!)

Swiss meringue buttercream is an IDEAL decoration for cake decorating, because it is very stable and resists its shape for a very long time. And it doesn't melt even in summer days !!!

 Ingredients:

  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 ½ cups (300gr) sugar
  • ½ kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups (340gr) unsalted butter, softened and cubed
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste)

 Directions:
In a small saucepan, whisk together with sugar and cook and the mixture until sugar is completely melted and it reaches 160 ° F (70 ° C) stirring continuously, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the mixture into a clean, fat-free mixing bowl with a whisk attachment. The speed of the stiff peaks form and the mixture is cool to touch, about 10 minutes.

Switch to a paddle attachment.

Add salt, vanilla bean and butter, one cube at a time. Make sure the butter is fully incorporated before adding the next one. The mixture might curdle, but don't panic.

Continue beating the mixture until smooth, light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. (When the frosting reaches the right consistency, you will start slapping sound hearing.)
