WHAT IS ITALIAN MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM?
Italian Meringue Buttercream is a style of frosting that you'd find at a gourmet bakery. It typically requires the skill of a pastry chef and over 1.5 hours of time to make from scratch.
It is created by whipping egg whites into a meringue, cooking a hot sugar syrup, and whipping in fresh butter.
Italian Meringue Buttercream is a lot lighter than American-style buttercreams (the popular confectioners sugar & butter recipe).
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
FROST Buttercream Vanilla Bakery Frosting has a light, creamy taste that you would expect from a gourmet bakery that uses farm fresh butter & real vanilla.
Some taste testers tell us it tastes similar to vanilla ice cream.
It is a lot LESS SWEET than typical frosting, with up to ~57% less sugar than a leading store-bought buttercream.
It is a lot lighter than typical frosting. FROST Buttercream Bakery Frosting uses REAL butter, leaving NO greasy mouthfeel, unlike most store-bought frostings that use palm / soy / coconut oils that have a higher melting point than body temperature & leave a waxy mouthfeel.
HOW TO STORE?
Keep frosting and frosted treats refrigerated when not in use.
HOW TO WHIP?
- Bring the Bakery Frosting completely to room temperature (so it is similar to the texture of softened butter) by setting on the counter or following microwave instructions.
- Whip with a hand / stand mixer until completely smooth and fluffy (5-10 mins).
*Initial separation / splitting when whipping is completely NORMAL if the product is still cool. KEEP whipping until turns creamy and fluffy.
CAN I USE WITHOUT WHIPPING?
FROST Buttercream Bakery Frosting can be enjoyed right from the tub as a dip, spread, or by the spoon.
We recommend quickly whipping with a hand / stand mixer first if using on cakes / cupcakes or other baked treats to bring the meringue blend to its fluffiest, smoothest texture.
