Buddy Valastro's Swiss Buttercream Recipe

A light egg white based icing slightly flavored with vanilla and made with all butter.

Yield: 879 g/31 oz/1# 15 oz

Egg white, Fresh 191 g/7 oz
Sugar, granulated 232 g/8.2 oz.
Butter, unsweetened 448 g/1#
Vanilla Extract 28.35/ 1 oz.

Modification:

For Chocolate: add 34 g/1.19 oz of dark chocolate to 100 g/3.52 oz butter cream

Directions:

• Setup mixer and whip attachment and sanitize mixer with lemon juice or make sure it very clean.
• Take egg whites and sugar, combine and heat to 115 F or till sugar is dissolved, place bowl onto mixer and whip until meringue is at firm peak.
• Once meringue is cooled and at 3x the volume, add fat in slowly portion-by-portion until blended.
• Once smooth, use as needed or flavor as desired.

***Chef tip: I prefer to store it 12- 24 hours before using to allow buttercream to settle. I then use a paddle attachment to remix and paddle until light and fluffy, then use.

Love how the magic of film hid the fact that they hydrangea melted off

[colinball]

he's got studio lights on him so it's probably pretty warm in there + I can attest as someone with hot hands I can split a buttercream in a piping bag with the heat from my hands alone

[mddodge]

Anyone notice the big flower he piped on the side started running off

I heard about your hand injury! I pray for your recovery and hope you get to do what you love decorating cakes. God Bless you and your family!

When I graduated from high school, I didn't start college right away because my future was undecided. Either go to Art College to become a famous artist, or become a pastry chef to create wedding cakes, birthday cakes, etc. Then, it came to me that I can do BOTH! I love watching Buddy's videos and intertwine my own designs and patterns. I have learned from the master!

[amandaarmstrong]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I hate the buttercream from most places because they use shortening instead of butter. My daughter and I made this today on Thanksgiving and we can not stop tasting it. Its the best buttercream we have had! I can't wait to serve this to our family. Thanks again!

For all those that are talking bout “the flower sliding READ THE DAMN DESCRIPTION where it says CHEF tip he prefers using it 12-24 hours before using it 🙄 he’s just showing how to make it
