Buttercream Mousselinecookies And Cream Recipes

VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FILLING

Steps:

• Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, and beat in confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, scraping down side of bowl as necessary, until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla, and beat until smooth.

BUTTERCREAM FROSTING FOR DECORATIONS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream butter until smooth, but not airy. Add milk, vanilla and salt and mix to incorporate.
• Sift powdered sugar over the butter mixture. Mix until incorporated and smooth. Do not overmix, to avoid air pockets in your frosting.
• Divide the frosting and add gel food coloring as desired.
• Use a piping bag fitted with desired tip to pipe flowers onto parchment paper. Freeze the flowers for at least 20 minutes.
• Use a knife to lift frozen flowers from parchment and onto a frosted cake. Arrange as desired.
• Enjoy!

EASIEST, MOST DELICIOUS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Place the egg whites and sugar into a metal bowl and set over a pan filled with about 2 inches of simmering water. Heat, stirring frequently, until the temperature of the egg whites reaches 140 degrees. They will feel very hot to the touch.
• Transfer the heated egg whites and sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix at high speed (or as high as you can go without egg flying out of the bowl) until they have reached their maximum volume, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix on medium or medium-high speed while pinching off small pieces of butter and throwing them in. Mix in vanilla if using. The buttercream may look like it is breaking down, but keep on mixing and it will come back together.

MOUSSELINE BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl beat the butter until smooth and creamy and set aside in a cool place.
• Have all other ingredients at room temperature.
• Have ready a heatproof pouring container ready for the sugar syrup.
• In a small heavy saucepan heat 3/4 cup sugar and the 1/4 cup water, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbling.
• Stop stirring and reduce the heat to low.
• (If using an electric range remove from the heat.) In the bowl of a stand mixer unsing the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until foamy, add the cream of tartar, and beat until soft peaks form when the beater is raised.
• Gradually beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form when the beater is raised slowly.
• Increase the heat and boil the syrup until the thermometer registers 248'F to 250'F (the firm ball stage).
• Immediately transfer the syrup to the heatproof container to stop the cooking.
• Pour a small amount of syrup over the whites with the mixer off.
• Immediately beat at high speed for 5 seconds.
• Stop the mixer and add a larger amount of syrup.
• Beat at high speed for 5 seconds.
• Continue with the remaining syrup.
• For the last addition, use a rubber scraper to remove the syrup clinging to the heatproof container.
• Lower speed to medium and continue beating up to 2 minutes or until the bottom of your mixing bowl feels cool to the touch.
• If not completely cool, continue beating on lowest speed.
• Beat in the butter at medium speed 1 tablespoon at a time.
• At first the mixture will seem thinner but will thicken beautifully by the time all the butter is added.
• If at any time the mixture looks slightly curdled, increase the speed slightly and beat until smooth before continuing to add more butter.
• When butter is fully incorporated you may add any of the optional flavorings.
• Place in an airtight bowl.
• Rebeat lightly from time to time to maintain silky texture.
• Buttercream becomes spongy on standing.
• Will keep 2 days room temperature, 10 days refrigerated, 8 months frozen.
• Allow to come to room temperature completely before rebeating to restore texture or it will break down irretrievably.

COOKIES AND CREAM BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites, sugar and salt over a pot of simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until sugar and salt dissolve and mixture is warm to touch (about 160 degrees). Using the whisk attachment, beat mixture on low speed and gradually increase to high, beating until mixture is stiff and glossy, about 10 minutes. With mixer on low, add butter a few tablespoons at a time, then whisk in vanilla. Using paddle attachment, beat buttercream until air bubbles are gone and mixture is smooth. Gently fold in crushed cookies. Use immediately.

COOKIES AND CREAM

Steps:

• Start whipping heavy cream adding sugar, to taste. When the cream begins to thicken, add the egg yolks and whip to stiff peaks. Separate whipped cream in 2 separate bowls. Add blueberries to 1 bowl.
• Place chocolate cookie on a plate add blueberry cream over, place vanilla cookie on top of the cream then add plain whipped cream on top. Decorate with blueberries and peaches.

BUTTERCREAM-FROSTED LEMON SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat®) or parchment paper.
• Cream sugar and 1 cup butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in egg yolks, 1 at a time, until well incorporated and fluffy; don't overmix. Blend in all of the zest from the lemon and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice (if you have extra juice, reserve it for the frosting).
• Combine flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a bowl and whisk to blend. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with the butter-sugar mixture and mix in on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom with a spatula until cookie dough is evenly blended.
• Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out 12 dough balls and set, evenly spaced, onto the prepared baking sheet. Don't flatten them, you can leave them just as they come out of the scoop. If you don't have a scoop, just shape walnut-sized balls by hand.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are very lightly browned and tops begin to appear crackled, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes and then very carefully move to a cooling rack to complete cooling (they will be very soft still).
• Repeat with remaining dough until all cookies are baked and cooled.
• When cookies are cooled, make the buttercream frosting by whipping 3 cups of confectioners' sugar with 1/2 cup butter; start on low speed until butter and sugar begin to combine, then turn up the speed slowly. When sugar and butter are mostly combined, add in lemon juice and whip until creamy and smooth. Check consistency and flavor; you can add a little extra lemon juice or milk if you want a creamier consistency. But if you want the texture fairly stiff you may not need extra liquid at this point.
• Frost the cooled cookies as desired and allow the buttercream to set before stacking or storing the cookies.
