Buttercream is a delicious sweet preparation made from butter, egg whites, sugar, and water. It has a soft and creamy texture and a rich, buttery flavor. It is perfect for enriching and decorating all kinds of desserts.
Gather the egg whites in a copper bowl and beat them until stiff peaks form, using a whisk or an electric mixer, then gradually add 200 g of sugar while continuing to beat the mixture.
Prepare a syrup in a small pot with the remaining sugar and water, bring it to a boil until it reaches a temperature of 112 degrees, and incorporate it into the beaten egg whites by pouring it in a thin stream.
Work the butter into a cream in a bowl, then gradually incorporate the egg white and sugar mixture.
You can use the simple cream or flavor it as desired, for example, by adding coffee or cocoa powder.
