                If you're looking for a fluffy, light tasting buttercream, this is it.  I absolutely LOVED this recipe.  It has the consistency of whipped cream.  I loved that it's not greasy.  I used this for a baby shower cake and it was sooo yummy.  I beated the sugar and eggs until it reached 160 degrees (about 15 mins).  A little work but worth it!

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 5 large egg whites
  • 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Food-coloring gel paste

Directions

In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer, combine sugar and egg whites. Place bowl over pan of simmering water; whisk until whites are hot and sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from heat, and transfer to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until cooled and fluffy, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. Add butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until incorporated. Stir in vanilla.

To tint, divide buttercream into small bowls, one for each color of flower petals (setting aside some untinted buttercream, if desired); color about 1/2 cup green for the leaves. Add a small amount of food coloring; stir well. Add a bit more color at a time until desired shade is reached.

      Cook's Notes

If not using immediately, store frosting, well covered, in the refrigerator up to 1 week, or freeze up to 1 month. Before using, bring to room temperature; beat well.
