Italian buttercream

I like to us this recipe its so easy to spread on cake. It taste lighly sweet and wont crust like regular buttercream with powdered sugar.

5 egg whites beat until white peaks form 5 min approximately. Room temp is best!
add 1 tsp cream of tarter to help hold

In saucepan add one cup of sugar with about 1/4 water . Let melt on med heat keep storing until bubbly.

 let sugar cook until gets think 350 on candy thermometer or softbball stage.

Slowly pour hot sugar into egg whites with mixer on high
Mix until
They look shiny.

 Online it says mix for 35 min but I think that must just cool it. I just look for shiney white.

 Let cool before adding softened unsalted butter or it will melt and be runny.


Feel the outside of the bowl.









Add about four cubes that's two cups. Once creamy and not chunky
Add 2 tsp vanilla
