What Is The Difference Between Swiss Buttercream And Regular Buttercream?
Swiss buttercream and regular buttercream differ in their preparation method and ingredients. Swiss buttercream uses egg whites that are whisked with sugar over a double boiler until reaching a certain temperature, then whipped with butter until it becomes light and fluffy. In contrast, regular buttercream uses whole eggs or egg yolks whipped with butter, powdered sugar, and flavorings. Swiss buttercream has a lighter texture and less sweetness than regular buttercream and is considered more versatile for decorating. Regular buttercream is easier to make, has a thicker consistency, and is sweeter.
