Meringue Frosting

Meringue frostings have a reputation for being fussy, but they don’t have to be. Yes, they take a few more steps than your classic American buttercream frosting, but the results are so worth it: silky smooth texture, glossy swirls, and that perfect balance of lightness without being overly sweet.

Here you’ll find recipes that make meringue frosting approachable, whether you’re ready to tackle my Swiss Meringue Buttercream I Can’t Stop Making, want to add a little cocoa flair with Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream, or need a shortcut like my Easy 7 Minute Frosting (No Double Boiler!).

I break down each recipe with clear instructions so you can confidently whip up bakery-worthy frostings right in your own kitchen. Once you try one, you’ll see why these are my go-to for impressing guests (and honestly, for treating myself too).
