Product Information

Italian meringue buttercream is a versatile and delicious frosting that can be used in various creative ways. Here are some ideas: Egg white powder provides the egg white part of meringue powder. You may also see it sold as dried egg whites, depending on the manufacturer. The big difference between egg white powder and meringue powder is that egg white powder is formulated to replace egg whites specifically, while meringue powder is meant to replace all of the ingredients in meringue. Meringue may include corn starch and other ingredients. Meringue powder– Quite simply, we are replacing egg whites with egg white powder. You can buy meringue powder at most cake decorating stores. And yet, meringue powder can be expensive while egg white powder is more affordable. The good news is that you can also make meringue powder at home – I have given you the recipe above. The water will boil with lots of large bubbles and then those large bubbles will become smaller and smaller (sorry that’s the best indication I can give you because that’s how I learned and managed without a thermometer for many years).

If you make your sugar cookie icing with meringue powder, the icing lasts in sealed container at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks. Use two dessert spoons to drop 14–16 large spoonfuls of meringue onto the prepared tray, or pipe onto the tray using a large piping bag and star nozzle. Bake for 2 hours. Leave the oven door shut and cool for a further 2 hours before removing from the oven. Butter– I like using unsalted butter. And yet, if salted butter is all you have, go ahead and use it. I tried, and it still works. Should I throw my buttercream – NO!! This one breaks my heart every single time. If you think it did not work – don’t throw the buttercream – place it in the fridge and comment below- I may be able to troubleshoot.It is not necessary to run the mixer on high while you pour the syrup. I have always done it on medium and have had no accidents or disasters. Another purpose of meringue powder is to prevent food poisoning in children and pregnant women that is sometimes caused by raw eggs. Meringue powder uses pasteurized eggs, so it can significantly reduce the risk of getting poisoned. Use one egg white to replace two tablespoons of meringue powder. If you are using pasteurized egg whites, use three tablespoons to replace two tablespoons of meringue powder. A decent second choice: Egg white powder This Italian buttercream made with meringue powder is similar to regular IMBC made with egg whites and yet a bit softer consistency. So you can use it just as regular IMBC. While I prefer my Stiff Buttercreamrecipe for piping flowers. And if I do pipe flowers with this buttercream, then I freeze them as soon as I make the flower. Since once frozen they hold their shape better even when thawed. Tips for Success
