Italian Meringue Buttercream Flavor Ideas:
Vanilla Italian Meringue Buttercream: Add 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract to every 2 cups of buttercream. (I often also add a few drops of lemon extract to my vanilla Italian Meringue Buttercream because it accentuates the vanilla flavor.)
White, Dark or Milk Chocolate Italian Meringue Buttercream: For every 2 cups of buttercream, beat in 4 ounces of melted chocolate that has cooled to room temperature. (Adding a teaspoon of vanilla can accentuate the chocolate flavor.)
Pistachio Italian Meringue Buttercream: Beat one 8-oz jar of Pistachio Paste into one recipe Italian Meringue Buttercream until combined.
Marmalade Italian Meringue Buttercream: For every 2 cups of buttercream, beat in 1 cup of marmalade.
Espresso Italian Meringue Buttercream: For every 2 cups of buttercream, add 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder to 2 teaspoons boiling water and stir to dissolve, then beat into the buttercream.
Coconut Italian Meringue Buttercream: For every 2 cups of buttercream, beat in 3 tablespoons of cream of coconut.
Fresh Berry Italian Meringue Buttercream: Puree raspberries, blackberries or strawberries until very smooth. If using blackberries, strain out the seeds. Add about ⅓ of a cup of berry puree to every 2 cups of buttercream, adding the puree a little at a time and beating well after each addition.
Lemon Curd Italian Meringue Buttercream: For every 2 cups of buttercream, beat in ⅓ of a cup of lemon curd.
Liquor Flavored Italian Meringue Buttercream: My favorite liquors to add are Frangelico and Kailua. Add about 2 tablespoons of liquor to every 2 cups of buttercream. Add the liquor slowly and taste often. Add as much or as little as you like.
