Making buttercream with vegetable shortening results in a smooth, stable frosting that holds up well in warm temperatures. Here’s a simple recipe for a classic shortening-based buttercream:
Instructions:
-
Beat the Shortening: In a mixing bowl, beat the vegetable shortening with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
-
Add Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
-
Use or Store: Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week and can be frozen. Re-whip before using.
This buttercream is perfect for decorating cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, offering a stable texture and a neutral flavor that pairs well with various extracts or food colorings.
