Vanilla Buttercream Filling For Macarons

100+ ideas

This five-ingredient vanilla buttercream is the perfect macaron filling everyone will love. It's a versatile filling for macarons that can be eaten alone or paired with jam or curd.

Here's what you'll need...

You'll Need:

– 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter softened to room temperature – 3 ½ cups (400 grams) confectioners' sugar, measured then sifted – 2 tablespoons (28 grams) heavy cream – 1 tablespoon (15 grams) vanilla bean paste – ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions:

Add butter to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 - 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the mixer as needed.

Instructions:

Add confectioners' sugar ½ cup at a time to the mixer running on medium-low speed. Allow the confectioners' sugar to fully incorporate before adding in another ½ cup. Repeat until no confectioners' sugar remains.

Instructions:

Add the heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and fine sea salt to the mixer and beat until combined.

Instructions:

Set the mixer to medium-high speed and allow the buttercream to beat for an additional 5 minutes until light and fluffy.

Instructions:

Deflate the buttercream by hand using a silicone spatula. Press the buttercream around the side of the mixer bowl until the frosting has smoothed and large air bubbles have been pushed out. This helps the buttercream pipe smoothly.

Instructions:

Match up macaron sides so they are paired with a similar size and shaped macaron. Pipe buttercream on one side of the macaron shell using your favorite piping tip. Gently place the matching side on top of the buttercream.
