Silkiest chocolate buttercream from Dessert Person: Recipes and Guidance for Baking with Confidence (page 359) by Claire Saffitz

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    silkiest, best tasting buttercream i’ve used. very involved but worth the effort

    This recipe makes a smooth, chocolatey, and very delicious buttercream, a little bit more involved than my usual Swiss meringue buttercream because you have to make an Italian meringue and use a sugar thermometer. Got rave reviews from everybody.
