Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Fill medium saucepan one quarter full with water. Set the saucepan over medium heat, and bring water to a simmer.

Combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of electric mixer, and place over saucepan. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Test by rubbing between your fingers.

Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix until combined. Use meringue immediately.

                I was wondering why this is called a Swiss Meringue Buttercream, when there's no butter in the recipe. Is this the same thing you would use on meringue cream pies?

                Very Disappointing Martha et al. I followed this to a T and it just slid off my ice cream for the Baked Alaska even though I did achieve soft peaks.
