Ingredients

For the meringue:

• 4 egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the maple syrup mixture:

• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Make the meringue

1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg whites and sugar. 2. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. 3. Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture reaches 160°F on a candy thermometer. 4. Remove the bowl from the heat and using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture has cooled to room temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the maple syrup mixture

1. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, water, and sugar. 2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. 3. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer until it reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer. 4. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 3: Combine the meringue and maple syrup mixture

1. With the electric mixer on low speed, slowly pour the maple syrup mixture into the meringue. 2. Once all the syrup has been added, increase the speed to high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. 3. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Step 4: Add the butter

1. Gradually add in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. 2. Continue beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Use or store

1. Use the Maple Swiss Meringue Buttercream immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. 2. When ready to use, let the frosting come to room temperature and give it a quick whip with the electric mixer before using.
