Ingredients
3 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks of butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, cream of tartar, and salt and place over medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup begins to boil.
In a stand mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
With the mixer running, slowly pour the syrup into the egg whites and whip until the mixture is thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
Add the softened butter to the egg white mixture a tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Allow the buttercream to cool completely before using.
Interesting Facts
This Italian Meringue Buttercream is a twist on a classic French Buttercream.
The addition of an egg white-sugar syrup to the buttercream adds a slight sweetness and a light and fluffy texture.
This buttercream is perfect for topping cupcakes, cakes, and other desserts.
