Vanilla Buttercream Macaron Filling

Colin Clark

Yield:Yields about 1 cup

由搅拌黄油的酥皮,这s filling has a light texture and rich vanilla flavor—the perfect accompaniment forClassic French Almond Macarons.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 4 oz. (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into 4 to 6 pieces
  • 1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Preparation

  • In a small heatproof bowl, whisk the sugar and egg whites. In a 1-quart saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Set the bowl over the simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water) and heat the mixture, whisking occasionally, until hot to the touch, 4 to 6 minutes. It will thin out a bit as the sugar melts.

    Remove the bowl from the heat and scrape the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until the mixture is light, white, and cool to the touch, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the chunks of butter one at a time. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the buttercream is smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla and salt.

Make Ahead Tips

The buttercream can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Before using, return to room temperature and then mix the buttercream in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

Espresso Buttercream:Substitute 2 tsp. instant espresso powder dissolved in 1/2 tsp. warm water, cooled, for the vanilla and mix it in along with the salt.

    I made the filling for the first time tonight, and found it easy to follow and easy to execute. I did add additional 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of almond extract. I also used salted butter and omitted the kosher salt. The icing tasted delicious, but was a bit thin to use immediately. After refrigerating a bit, it was perfect.
