How to Make
Iryna's Swiss Meringue Buttercream

  1. Add egg whites, sugar, and salt to a large bowl.
  2. Whisk everything together.

  5. Transfer the bowl to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, and mix with a whisk attachment on high until you get room temperature glossy peaks.
  6. Switch to a paddle attachment, and add room temperature butter (all at one time) and vanilla extract.
