SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM RECIPE
Swiss meringue buttercream is supremely better in both flavor and texture than American buttercream. Once you try it, you will want to use it on all of your cakes, cupcakes, cookies, everything! It is silky, pipes beautifully, and is very stable.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, add at least 1-inch of water and bring to simmer.
- Thoroughly wash and dry the stainless steel mixing bowl from your stand mixer (you don't want grease touching meringue). Add 7 egg whites and 2 cups sugar and whisk together. Place mixing bowl over a large saucepan of barely simmering water, creating a seal over the pot (bowl should be over the steam, not touching water). Whisk constantly until mixture reaches 160˚F (takes about 3 min). Sugar should be fully dissolved (you should not feel any sugar granules when rubbing mixture between finger tips). Mixture will feel hot to the touch.
- Wipe water from bottom of mixing bowl and transfer bowl to stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff glossy peaks form (about 15-20 min) and bottom of the bowl feels completely at room temp and not warm (important: warm meringue will melt the butter).
- Once bowl is at room temp, switch to paddle attachment, reduce to medium speed and add butter 1 Tbsp at a time, adding it just as fast as it is absorbed by meringue. Once all butter is in, scrape down the bowl and continue beating until it reaches a thick whipped consistency (3 min on med-high speed). If it looks lumpy or liquidy at all, keep beating until smooth, thick and whipped.
- Add 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp salt and mix on med-high until incorporated (about 1 min).

Steps:
- Chose a medium saucepan and a medium heatproof bowl that you can use for your double boiler. You'll want to use a bowl that will neatly fit on top of your saucepan, but the bottom of the bowl CANNOT be touching the water below. (See photo below). Wipe down your bowl, making sure it's completely dry and there's no grease, residue, or crumbs left in it. Remove butter from the fridge and set aside. Carefully separate your egg whites.
- Add egg whites and sugar in your mixing bowl and whisk by hand to combine. Place bowl on top of a saucepan that's filled with a few inches of water and turn on medium heat.
- Continue to whisk by hand until your sugar has completely dissolved and your egg mixture has reached 70 C / 160 F. You can check this using a candy thermometer. The eggs will be thick and frothy. Remove from heat.
- Place eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until egg whites become thick and voluminous and reach stiff peaks. This can take around 10 minutes. The egg whites should hold their shape and not droop. The mixture should also be completely cooled.
- Turn your mixer down to low speed, then slowly add your butter, piece by piece. As you add your butter, your meringue mixture may turn soupy, and/or eventually look curdled - this is ok.
- Continue until you've added all your butter. Turn your mixer up to medium speed and continue to whisk until frosting comes together and is smooth again. Do not worry about over-mixing - keep going.
- Finally, add vanilla and salt. Mix briefly. Then remove bowl from mixer and use a spatula to give it one final stir by hand, getting rid of any air bubbles.

SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM
Of the three types of meringue, Swiss meringue is perhaps the easiest for the home cook to master. This recipe is by no means as simple as the Easy Chocolate Buttercream on page 432, but it is a good next step on the way to more involved icings such as Italian meringue. You begin by combining egg whites and sugar in a mixing bowl and then whisking them over a pan of simmering water. Because the heat is more gentle, you won't have to use a candy thermometer. Once the sugar has melted, and the egg whites are warm, the bowl is transferred to an electric-mixer stand and the mixture whipped to stiff peaks. When the mixture is completely cool, softened butter is beaten in piece by piece, to create a silky smooth icing. It is ultrarich and delicious, and can be used on cakes that run the gamut from homespun to oh-so-fancy.

Steps:
- Heat sugar and eggs Bring a saucepan filled with about 2 inches of water to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine sugar, egg whites, and salt in a large heatproof mixing bowl. Set bowl over (not in) simmering water, and whisk until whites are warm to the touch and sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. (Heating the eggs relaxes their proteins, enabling the eggs to whip up higher and more quickly; the sugar also melts, for a silky smooth consistency.) Test by rubbing between your fingers; the mixture should feel smooth.
- Whip meringue Attach bowl to a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on low speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and beat on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and mixture is cooled completely, about 10 minutes.
- Mix in butter Reduce speed to medium-low; add butter 2 tablespoons at a time, beating to incorporate fully after each addition. Don't worry if the buttercream appears curdled at this point; it will become perfectly smooth again with continued beating. After all the butter has been incorporated, beat in vanilla.
- Finish Switch to the paddle attachment. Beat on the lowest speed to reduce air bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Let stand, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature. (If not using the same day, transfer to airtight containers and store in the refrigerator up to 3 days or the freezer up to 1 month. Before using, bring to room temperature; beat with the paddle attachment on the lowest speed until smooth and pliable, about 10 minutes.)
- Follow recipe above, adding 5 1/2 ounces melted and completely cooled semisweet chocolate along with the vanilla.
