1. Use the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Combine the meringue powder, liquid creamer, and approximately two cups of powdered sugar. Pro tip - we make a meringue first this is what makes this buttercream different from other American buttercream recipes.
2. Mix on medium-low for a minute - scraping the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue to mix for two to three minutes until you have a light and sticky consistency. Pro tip - It must look light and fluffy with a sticky appearance. This means the meringue powder has dissolved
3. Next, gradually start adding the remaining powdered sugar. Continue to mix at medium speed. Pro tip - the mixture at the moment will be very dry and crumbly but continue to combine. You can add a tablespoon or more of cream but it is best to avoid at this point.
4. Once all the sugar had been added and you have no dry powdered sugar, gradually start adding the butter one tablespoon at a time. Pro tip - make sure that all the powdered sugar has been incorporated otherwise it will cause lumps in the butter.

1. Beat 2 cups of unsalted butter on a medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth with a paddle attachment / stand mixer or a hand mixer.
2. Mix in 1 Tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste and 1/2 tsp salt on a low speed.
3. Slowly add in 7 cups of powdered sugar while mixing slowly on the lowest setting. Half way through add in 3 Tbsp of heavy cream or milk to make it easier to mix. I like to place a kitchen towel over my mixer to contain any powdered sugar clouds.
