(NO HEAT) EASY MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM TUTORIAL || Janie’s Sweets (VIDEO)
Hello my pretties. Check out this super easy tutorial on how to make this super easy meringue buttercream. I love swiss or Italian meringue buttercream over american buttercream because it’s less sweet and super smooth but because of the butter it makes it a great candidate for piping, frosting and filling cakes and cupcakes because it will hold it’s shape and remain firm while cold. This makes it great for stacked or wedding cakes. This buttercream can be flavored or died whichever color you want and it is a cream to pipe. Check out the video for the step by step instructions. Hope you enjoy!
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS
1 Cup of water
1/2 cup of meringue powder
1 lb of butter
3 cups of powdered sugar
2 tbsp of vanilla extract
-Make sure ingredients are at room temperature
-Mix water and meringue powder until it becomes frothy
-Add sugar and continue mixing on medium speed until it forms stiff peaks
-Add butter a little at a time and mix until well combined and icing stays on a spatula tilted upside down
-Switch to paddle attachment until icing becomes smooth
-Add vanilla extract and mix on high until icing becomes light and fluffy
-Enjoy!
Hi Iam Vandana from Mumbai India and was attempting meringue buttercream recipe and during the sugar and meringue stage it did not turn stiff so could not proceed further I have followed the ingredients so what could have gone wrong .pls guide I have used bakerwhip eggless meringue powder.
It's looking curdled. What did I do wrong? Can it be fixed?
I just tried this recipe and it came out perfect and it tastes really good!! Don't give up, if it looks like it's not mixed keep whipping and the texture will become creamy and smooth. Thanks Janie
Are you able to make this with an electric hand mixer?
How much does this make?
Love this recipe! I used margarine instead. I had to wisk and paddle a little longer but it came out great! Smooth, silky, and light💚💚💚 Thank u so much Doll!!! 😊
Hi if we want to do a chocolate seiss meringue buttercream using meringue powder what will be the recipe…
I just tried this now, three times and it all failed. Not sure if it’s because I am using a hand mixer…
Hi Janie, a few questions here:
-How much of this frosting would i need to decorate a 7inch and 8 inch layer cake?
-Your recipe here is enough for what size cake?
-Also because this frosting is more fluffy can it support layers as far as pipping in between them ?, will it hold up well?
-And is it stiff enough to ice a whole cake and stay?
– is any meringue powder brand ok to use?
Omg thanks so much for this video your a genius for this like think about how many people struggle in making a Swiss or italian buttercream such as myself but you made this video so clear and no confusion whats so ever thank you so much

Hi Janie! You got me at "no heat" 😊 thanks for sharing! Just 1 question, how many cups does this recipe make?
1- Was the water hot ?
2- can I add white chocolate ?

OMG you nail it thank you so much , finally somebody can make an easy one..👍❤
AMAZING!!!!! I ALWAYS AVOID MAKING THE ONE WITH HEAT, TOO MUCH WORK. THIS IS GREAT!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I don’t have a mixer like this.. so can’t make this.. 😔
I’m trying to make this but I can’t get past the soupy stage once you’ve incorporated all the ingredients! I’ve tried putting it in the fridge for 15 minutes then beating it again for about 10-15 minutes but nothing works. Is it salvageable or a lost cause? I followed everything to a T and it had been going to smoothly.
I just made this for the third time. The first was a fail but now I have it down. Best video ever!
