Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 cups Clover Sonoma unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 large egg whites
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

1

Whisk the egg whites and white granulated sugar in a mixing bowl over a saucepan filled with water on medium heat. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F.

2

Transfer mixture into a stand mixer bowl and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

3

Use the paddle attachment and mix while adding the Clover Sonoma unsalted butter in three increments. After the butter is fully incorporated, add in vanilla and salt.

Your buttercream is ready to use on cakes or whatever sweet treat you desire! Refrigerate for 4-5 days or freeze in an airtight container.
