HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM

The Italian Meringue Buttercream is made by whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks then pouring the sugar syrup and whipping until cooled to room temperature. Then softened butter is added a little at a time and whipped until smooth and fluffy. The Italian Meringue Buttercream can be made in advance and kept it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week or frozen for up to 3 months.
