This is a great solution for those who like the ease of the american buttercream and the taste of the swiss buttercream ! As you can see, its quite easy to make and pipes quite well ( my mediocre piping skills not withstanding!).

The buttercream is smooth, just sweet enough and pipes well ! Its quite similar to the swiss meringue buttercream in texture and taste (although i am still partial to the swiss buttercream !) but doesn’t have eggs … so yay for that ! My adapted version works just fine but check out the original amounts on Not quite Nigella if you do have one. I have played around with the quantities a little to make it easier for people who don’t have weighing scales. This new (and improved) version of the buttercream is made up of castor sugar (or granulated sugar if you don’t have castor ), butter and water. īut yes, in general, American buttercream is not my go-to and I know thats the case for many others. Ofcourse there are some recipes that are better than others and flavours matter, like this fluffy Nutella buttercream. And am not too fond of the final taste (far too sweet) or texture (more often grainy than not!).

I do not like making anything that has multiple cups of any type of sugar (there go my double standards again! I am an author at a baking and desserts blog!). Now as we see in the representational image, baked donuts kind of have a grove in between like this. Open Sculpt Mode by clicking on sculpting amongst the top headers. I for one don’t like American buttercream much. Select only the donut (not the icing) and on the modifier section on the right, click apply on the subdivision surface modifier, do this in edit mode to see the difference.
