Meringue Powder Buttercream Frosting | MUST TRY RECIPE! American Buttercream/ Italian Buttercream

Meringue powder buttercream

Ingredients
74g granulated sugar
55g boiled water
14g Meringue powder - (I used Culpitt Meri white)
225g icing sugar/confectioners' sugar
225g Salted butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

I’ve been trying to find a recipe for a Meringue type buttercream using Meringue powder instead of fresh or pasteurised egg whites.

I stumbled across this recipe from King Arthur baking and thought I’d give it a try. It’s a mix of Italian and American buttercream, but I use meringue powder instead of egg whites.
I made some very slight changes, and I must say, it turned out soooo good (if I say so myself!)
So smooth and actually. It wasn’t too sweet.
It’s a stable buttercream, that pipes beautifully.

Please give it a try, and let me know in the comments what you think. ☺️

This recipe is the absolute best!! I tried it a second time, quadrupled the ingredients, whipped in 2 blocks of cream cheese into it to make 2 tiered carrot cake. It held its shape during transport and the baby shower event. It is my forever go to! It really is the absolute best. Thank you so much!

Made it a second time for my frosted sugar cookies and it was great…this may be my go to buttercream

[mommaskitchen]

Just made this and it’s fantastic I added 1 tsp of coconut cream as that’s the flavor I needed for my tropical cupcakes TY

Great visuals & easy instructions to follow. Looks delicious!

I just tried this out today, i think its my new favourite! I didnt boil the water - I got it out of the tap at 50 C, it was hot enough to dissolve the sugar without having to use extra things which makes it even easier!

[kmmykm]

[haya-n]

😮Bravo, super, creative pastry chef 👏 👌 ❤️ Thank you so much for writing the ingredients exactly and sharing your great recipes and videos 💯💜

Does it crust? Is it stable in warm weather? Thank you for sharing!

[jhonellehenry]

Ive been searching for a recipe like this since i cant find pasteurized egg whites...will definitely give it a try.

Can I use corn syrup instead of powdered sugar to add that extra sweetness or would it ruin the consistency?

Also, if i wanted to make a chocolate version? Do i add cocoa powder at the end or add it after the meringue is made? Love to hear from you

[dawnanddust]

How much frosting does it make? Will it be enough to cover and fully decorate my 2 layer 6 inch cake? Is it stable in room temperature? Thanks for the recipe.

[theesweetieca]

Great video! At which point can I add powdered or gel food coloring to this recipe?

[cherylkhan]

Hi, thanks for an awesome video. About how many cupcakes can l frost with this amount of buttercream. I'm making rosettes.
Kind regards from
South Africa.

Why do we need to add confectioners sugar? Why can't we just use the granulated like regular Italian buttercream? I cannot stand powdered sugar & I use meringue powder for many things but never tried the buttercream yet? Thanks 😊

[marilyndeleon]

Can this buttercream be use for covering a cake ?

[anamariab]

I tried making and the confectioner's sugar didn't dissolved completely so some of the piping tips got clotted. I did notice it was very dry before adding the butter, like it was most stuck in the whisk like glue, how can I fix this? I loved the texture and flavor, but I need it smoot so I can pipe easily. Thanks!

[Msblakorchid]

Can it be stored in the fridge to use the next day?

[girlyleisure]

Nice video can i cover a 1kg cake from this recipe

[yushi]

I tried today for the Minecraft cake. I like the recipe coz I can easily reduice the granular sugar quantity without affecting the texture. It’s personal preference, but it taste a little bit too buttery for me so I will reduice maybe 30-50g next time.

[sheilayoyo]

How much can this batch ice a 8inch cake ?
