- Recipe is created for
  TM 5
  
  If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
  For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Recipe's preparation

Method

This is a very easy recipe it’s keeps its form, it’s easy to pipe with and colours well …and tastes amazing! but … you need patients. It is the patients of beating for a long time on a low speed which is the secret! The friction created when beating works to reduce the size of the sugar particles and creates a softer silky eating quality.

Add icing sugar to the bowl

under the MC place a piece of paper towel then mill 1 min on Speed 5
Scrape down and repeat-Remove the paper towel from under the MC

Add unsalted butter (room temperature) and Vanilla extract to the bowl

with the MC mix until the icing become really light in colour.

Mix slowly for 5 minutes on Speed 2 - Scrape Down
- remove MC and repeat this step again (10mins all up)

Add the Milk mix for 1min on Speed 3 Scrape down
Repeat this step again until mixture is combined

Tip

The buttercream needs to be at room temperature to pipe well but if you make it a few days beforehand just take it out of the refrigerator let it get to room temperature beat on Speed 5 for 30 seconds repeat if necessary! But don’t over beat. This mixture should be lite and fluffy.
