Recipe's preparation

    Buttercream Icing
  1. Add butter to bowl, whip 3 min/speed 3, stopping every minute to scrape the sides down.

    Scrape down bowl and add butterfly, then whip 3 min/speed 3, scraping down bowl half way through. At the end this time the butter should be lighter in colour and texture.

    Add icing sugar, milk, vanilla or cocoa powder (if using) and whip again for 3 min/speed 3, turning speed up slowly so the icing sugar doesn't fly up to the lid. Scrape down halfway through to combine if necessary.

    Use as required.

Tip

I used icing sugar in this recipe, but you can make your own icing sugar from white sugar or raw sugar by milling 20 sec/speed 10, scraping down and repeating until you get the fine consistency you are after.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
