Author: Eden

Ingredients

  • 4 Egg Whites
  • 1 cup organic cane sugar
  • 3/4 cup grass-fed butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

Instructions

  • Add the sugar and the egg whites into a heat-proof mixing bowl.
  • Fit the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture is hot, sugar is dissolved and the egg whites are a little frothy. About 4 minutes. It should look like a shiny marshmallow cream.
  • With the whisk attachment, beat eggs on medium speed until cooled and thicker, for about 5 minutes. 
  • Switch to the paddle attachment and add in one stick of room temperature butter at a time beating until smooth.
  • On medium speed add in vanilla bean extract.
  • You should end up with a shiny, smooth and absolutely delicious buttercream frosting!
