Filled Meringue Trees

Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting (on pudding filled chocolate cupcakes)








Описание:

This is the recipe I used and it was based on the recipe on this blog:
http://www.runningwithspatulas.com/20...

My half recipe was enough to frost about 10 cupcakes.
(this is a half recipe, whole recipe is on the blog in the link above)
2 extra large eggs
1/2 cup plus one tablespoon granulated white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup cool butter cut into 1 tbsp cubes (cold enough so that you can cut it into cubes, but not frozen solid cold)
1/2 cup and 1/8 cup (just over half a cup) of chocolate chips, melted and cooled.

Fill a saucepan with water and heat on the stove on medium heat until the water starts to simmer, turn heat down to medium -low.
Place bowl on top of pot making sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water.
Add the sugar and the egg white and start whisking immediately and constantly over the hot water on the stove. Whisk until you no longer can feel any sugar between your fingers in the egg whites, this happens fairly quickly. The egg white will be safe when they reach 140F (pretty much the same time the sugar will be dissolved).

** I will get the question, "what if I don't have a thermometer? " You basically need to heat the egg whites until they are hot. How hot? Hot enough so that you still can put your fingers in it to test for the dissolved sugar, but can't leave them in there for long without feeling pain from the heat.

Once the egg whites are hot enough and the sugar is dissolved take the bowl off the pot and continue beating with an electric mixer (stand or hand). Beat the egg whites until they are thick and glossy with soft peaks.
The temperature of the bowl must not feel hot at all. Generally by the time your egg whites get thick and glossy enough their temperature will have come down to room temp. If you egg whites are still warm, they will melt the butter when you add it.
This process can take about 10 to 15 minutes. This is not a fast frosting.

Now add the butter one cube at a time, beating after each addition. Continue to beat until you get something smooth and satiny and looking like frosting.
If your mixture look curdled keep beating! This part may take a while. If it looks soupy and runny, put the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes and then try beating again.

Once you get frosting, slowly add the melted and COOLED chocolate. Hot melted chocolate will melt the butter in the frosting = runny frosting. If you do this, chill it a bit and try again with the beating.

You should end up with some smooth, satiny, fluffy, creamy, wonderfully chocolaty frosting that pipes like a dream.

They even tell you how to freeze and/or refrigerate it.

yoyomax12 - the diet free zone пишет: They call SMB frosting "the problem child" of frosting. I've made this a half dozen times and have never had any issues with it (I know, this doesn't help you :)
I suggest that you google "troubleshooting swiss Meringue buttercream" and you may get tips and hints to deal with your particular issues.

yoyomax12 - the diet free zone пишет: It is pretty stable at room temperature as long as it is not tropical-hot.

yoyomax12 - the diet free zone пишет: I was just following the recipes I found, I speculate that the reason for the cold butter in this one is the addition of the melted chocolate. It is melted and cooled melted chocolate but will still have some residual heat in it if it is in the liquid form. The cold butter offsets that??

djrockssss пишет: I find that this recipe works out MUCH better with a hand held mixer rather than a stand mixer. I think it's because of the control. Try it out, both with a hand held and a stand mixer is you are fortunate enough to have both. Goodluck to everyone!

yoyomax12 - the diet free zone пишет: You are very kind to say so :)

Chloe Reynolds пишет: This looks amazing. but it's near on impossible to make. Tried it twice, and each time when the butter is added it stays smooth and creamy, rather than going like it does in this video. Made sure that the bowl is room temperature, tried putting in the fridge for a little bit, but nothing makes it go right. It's a shame, because this looks gorgeous.

i really like the look of this recipe, as my usual recipe is butter, icing sugar and a drop of milk. and this looks so light and fluffy, compaired to my stodgy, heavy icing! would i be a bother to ask if you could help me? thankyou so much!!

noviceprepper53 пишет: Hi Tammy, thanks for this recipe. I'm pre-diabetic and going to try to come up with a reduced carb and lower fat version. I'm never made buttercream before. My plan is to increase the egg whites, use a tiny bit of sugar but mostly sugar substitutes, and decrease the butter. Do you think this will substantially alter the taste/consistency? The sugar substitute I like is pretty good and has very little, to no, aftertaste. Thank you for your thoughts.

Alex Pham пишет: Hi Tammy. I was wondering would it be the same if I cut all the ingredients in half? For an example, 1 egg white, 1/4 cup of sugar and half a stick of butter? The reason I ask is because I wanted to fill my macarons with these without making so much swiss meringue buttercream

Hope you shake the cold soon, there is something particularly nasty and unfair about a summer cold.

You'll Need:

2 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
3 egg whites
Green paste food coloring

Chocolate Buttercream
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 teaspoons milk

Procedures : Line two large baking sheets with wax paper. Sketch 24 (3-1/2 inch tall) Christmas trees onto paper. Set aside.

Combine confectioners' sugar and egg whites in top of double boiler. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer 30 seconds or just until blended. Place over boiling water. Beat constantly at high speed 5 to 7 minutes or until peaks form. Remove from heat.

Fit No. 22 tip into decorating bag. Using a small art brush, paint a 1/4-inch wide strip of food coloring inside bag from tip to outer edge. Fill with meringue mixture. Starting at top of drawn trees, pipe meringue mixture to resemble trees, using zigzag motion, with green stripe showing. Bake at 300 degrees F for 25 minutes. Cool on baking sheets.

Carefully peel away wax paper, and store trees in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

Pipe or spread Chocolate Buttercream on flat sides of half of trees, and top with remaining trees. Serve immediately.

For Chocolate Buttercream: Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add cocoa, vanilla extract and milk; beat until mixture reaches spreading consistenc
