You've never made American buttercream like this before! Not many people know this GRIT FREE method!

In this video I'll be showing you a different method to making American buttercream, that leaves you with a grit free, super silky smooth American buttercream! Honestly, this buttercream is SO GOOD it almost tastes like a Swiss meringue buttercream, but so much easier to make! I believe @CupcakeSavvysKitchen was the first channel to demonstrate this method, so credit to them for introducing it to us :)

---------------------------------------------------------------

INGREDIENTS:
- 500g (2 cups) unsalted butter*
- 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 8.5g (2 tsp) vanilla extract/essence
- 1.5g (1/4 tsp salt)
- 330g (2 + 1/2 cup) icing/powdered sugar
- 10g (1 tbsp) meringue powder - OPTIONAL for added stability

*You can use salted butter, but omit the salt if you do.

i can finally say that i made perfect buttercream thanks to you! one helpful note for people who live in hot climates, make sure ur butter doesnt get too soft before beating and/or while u wait for the milk mixture to cool down. that happened to me and my cream turned into liquid that wont fluff, i fixed it by popping it in the freezer for five mins or so the mixed it again and it fluffed soooo beautifully

I had made this buttercream recipe twice now and it's going to be my go to buttercream. I cannot believe how smooth, grit free, perfectly sweet this buttercream is. Just don't skip the 10 mins of whipping at the end that makes the difference. I did 7 mins and it was smooth but I could still taste the butter so I put it back for the extra 3 mins and like magic it was like a swiss merengue buttercream without the egg whites ❤️

Such an easy recipe plus it makes literally the best frosting ever! Never using another buttercream recipe, this one is one I'll use forever!!

OMG. I used the recipe this evening and it is smooth as silk ❣️. It's not grainy and it's not overly sweet. This buttercream just FLOWS out of the piping bag. And it's beautiful. Love it!

I did add in an extra half cup of powdered sugar because I don't want too much butter flavor and I have a real sweet tooth. It was absolutely perfect.

This recipe is absolutely amazing! Tastes delicious and pipes like a dream!

Hey! 🙋🏻‍♀️🇷🇺I'm from Russia and I have a lot of familiar confectioners,
So, I give you a recipe for a dense and stable cream, which is used by many confectioners in Russia:

•400g cottage cheese (cream cheese)
•100g of butter (82.5% fat content)
•80g sifted powdered sugar

Softened butter at room temperature (get it out of the refrigerator at least 3-4 hours before the start of cream preparation), mix together with sifted powdered sugar until the butter is lightened and fluffy, then add cold cottage cheese, beat for a few more minutes, try not to overdo it! If desired, you can add vanilla extract. If the cream has become too soft, put it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes in a pastry bag.

Its moderately sweet cream, but perfectly delicious!!

Just try

Also, you can make cream for the layer of the cake, not the outer coating of the cake!

•300g cottage cheese
•150g whipping cream (33-35%)
•70g powdered sugar.

All ingredients should be very cold. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar at medium speed of the mixer until smooth and homogeneous (do not stir for too long), leave aside.
We take the whipping cream and whisk in a separate bowl until soft peaks, there is no need to whisk the cream tightly, because we will add cream to the mixed cream cheese and powder, and whisk everything together at low speed.

It is important not to overdo it, because the cream may begin to delaminate.

Good luck !❤

I've used this recipe a few times now with great success! For me - a person that bakes like twice a year - the unsung hero is the technique that gets you out of sifting the icing sugar. That used to take me ages and this makes getting the lumps out sooo much easier. Love this channel ❤

I follow cupcake savvy too and I immediately thought it was her receipe glad you give credit to their channel 👏 ♥

[larryfischer]

Well done! I have been making this buttercream for nearly 50-years now, as it was a recipe that I found in either Sunset, Reebok, Woman's Day or one of those magazines. Was very nice that you stated where you obtained the recipe and gave them credit. I am wondering where they got the recipe from! Anyway, thanks for posting a sensational recipe.

[rharesh]

Thanks for the post ma'am, that's how my grandma makes her frosting she uses boiled water or milk cuz she doesn't like graininess in her frosting. My mom made your vanilla sponge cake last weekends it was so yum yummy with whipping cream and fruits. God bless you and your lovely family ma'am. Medical student Malaysia😜✌👍👏🙏
