Swiss Buttercream Recipe (originally from Gretchen's Bakery):
Ingredients:
- 6 Large Egg Whites
- 1+1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups of Confectioners Sugar
- 3/4 cup Solid Vegetable Shortening
- 2 cups Unsalted Butter
- 1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt (or leave out if you used salted butter)
Instructions:
1. Over a double boiler, in a large metal bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and the egg whites stirring constantly until the mixture reaches approximately 115 degrees F and the sugar grains have dissolved and are no longer gritty to the touch.
2. Pour this mixture into the metal bowl of a stand mixer with the WHISK attachment (I don't have that attachment, but it seems to work find with regular beaters) and whip on high speed until it is thick, glossy and white in color. The peaks should be as firm as firm can be.
3. In the meantime, you can sift your confectioners sugar, and once you have achieved STIFF peaks meringue, add the confectioners sugar all at once with the mixer on very low speed to avoid having a show shower all over your kitchen!
4. Once all of the sugar has been incorporated, you can turn the mixer speed to med-high until it is all nicely mixed in.
5. Be sure your butter and shortening are at room temperature and they are the same consistency. Add it in about 2-3 additions, but FAST additions.
6. Add vanilla extract
7. Switch to the paddle attachment and blend on low speed until smooth (again, I just use regular beaters and don't have an issue)
