Italian Cream Cheese Buttercream for under Fondant

This buttercream is safe to use under fondant as can be left out of refrigerator as it is based on Italian Meringue Buttercream & doesn’t contain real cream cheese

460g Caster Sugar in pot with 1/2 cup water
8 Egg whites
2 Lemons Zest
750g Butter Soft
1 dram bottle of LorAnn Cheesecake flavour oil

Whisk egg white to medium peak, whilst you are bring your sugar & water to the bol brush down the sides to prevent sugar crystals & bring to 115C/239F, pour hot sugar onto egg whites whilst still whisking….keep whisking until cool then add soft butt, lemon zest & Flavour oil, beat until smooth, it may split but keep beating, Italian Meringue Buttercream does this but it come right with a little more whisking :-)

Now you have a cream cheese Buttercream that is safe to use under Fondant as it based on Italian Meringue buttercream where the eggs are pasteurised & no cream cheese…They will not be able to tell the difference this stuff is so YUM …now team it with my recipe for Carrot cake & you’ll be unstoppable…and by unstoppable you’ll keep wanting to eat it yourself <3

Well I guess it’s time to order Lorann’s cream cheese flavor oil. Funny thing is that recently I placed an order and meant to order this one but screwed up and ordered coconut instead.

Goretti I’m sure Coconut would taste fantasic in this buttercream also…mmm in a lime or pineapple cake YUM!!!

just swap the flavour oil & it will work :-)
