Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream: so light & silky-smooth, with a deep chocolate flavor & a hint of sweetness. This will be your new favorite frosting!

INGREDIENTS
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened but cool
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted & cooled slightly
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Place the egg whites and sugar in a large metal or glass bowl.
  2. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, and whisk, continuously, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture looks opaque.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat, and whip on high speed until completely cooled.
  4. Whip in the butter, a tablespoon at a time, until thick and fluffy. (If it begins to look curdled, continue to whip until it comes back together, before adding in remaining butter.)
  5. Fold in the melted chocolate, vanilla, and salt.
RECIPE NOTES
If the egg whites and/or the butter are slightly too warm, the buttercream may be runny. This can be easily remedied by placing it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, then whipping again.
