Coconut Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Makes about 8 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 10 large egg whites (300 grams)
  • cups (500 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • cups (567 grams) unsalted butter, cubed and softened
  • ¼ cup (51 grams) unrefined coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  • In the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together egg whites, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (71°C), 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully return bowl to stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, beat at high speed until cooled, about 10 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium-high. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until combined after each addition. With mixer on medium-high speed, add melted coconut oil in a slow, steady stream; beat until mixture thickens and comes together. (Frosting may look curdled at first, but keep beating and it will come together). Beat until frosting is smooth. Use immediately.
