JRB Better Buttercream

The buttercream recipe I wish I’d had years ago.

Smooth. Light. Fluffy. Glossy. Stable. And no white chocolate in sight.

If you love the silky finish of more complicated buttercreams but want something simple enough to actually use in your everyday baking, this is the one.

After plenty of experimenting, I created my Better Buttercream ~ my alternative to traditional buttercream for when I want that beautiful smooth finish, a lighter texture and a buttercream that holds up brilliantly for decorating.

And no, the secret isn’t adding a load of melted white chocolate. 😉

Inside, I’ll show you the exact ingredients and method I use to create that gorgeous, glossy consistency ~ including the slightly strange-looking stage where you’ll think “Jenny, what the hell have you made me do?” before it all comes together.

You’ll also get my tips for getting the best consistency, ingredient substitutions, storage instructions and how to bring your buttercream back to life after chilling or freezing.

No white chocolate. No complicated fancy technique. Just bloody good buttercream.

Once you know what’s in it, you’ll wonder why you weren’t making it this way already.
