🌿 You’ll Need:
- 3 egg whites
- 130 g sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 270 g unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tsp premium matcha powder @matchaunion
✨ Method:
1️⃣ Heat the base
In a heatproof bowl over gently simmering water, whisk egg whites, sugar, and vanilla until warm, glossy, and pale.
2️⃣ Whip until airy
Transfer to a stand mixer and beat until the mixture cools slightly and becomes fluffy.
3️⃣ Add butter & matcha
Add softened butter and matcha powder. Beat on medium speed for about 10 minutes until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ Refine the texture
Lower the speed and beat for another 5 minutes until silky and perfectly spreadable.
5️⃣ Use immediately
Pipe or spread onto cakes, cupcakes, or anything that deserves a matcha upgrade.
☁️ Optional Tips:
- Sift matcha beforehand for a smoother finish
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor
- Chill slightly if it gets too soft while piping
Light, creamy, and beautifully balanced — this Matcha Buttercream is the kind of frosting that turns simple bakes into something unforgettable. 💚🍵✨
