Alternative Buttercream Frosting Recipe:

(This is more stable, and will hold at room temperature in the summer or in warmer climates, like the Philippines!)

Ingredients:
5 egg whites [150 g]
1.5 cups sugar [300 g] - https://amzn.to/48VsDFh
1 lb unsalted butter [454 g]
1 tsp vanilla extract [4.93 mL] - https://amzn.to/3HflEvn]

Procedure:
- Whisk together 5 egg whites and 1.5 cups of sugar in a glass or stainless steel bowl.
- Then heat in a low heat water bath while continuing to whisk, till the sugar is dissolved (when it feels sticky to touch, and you hardly feel the grains of sugar anymore).
- Take it off water bath. And using an electric mixer, beat this mixture until it is glossy and stiff peaks form. Let it cool down to room temperature.
- When it is back to room temperature, continue beating and slowly add 1 lb of room temperature (unsalted) butter a little at a time (I slice them into 1 or 2 tablespoon size cubes).
- When the butter is fully mixed in, add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Continue to frost the ube roll like in the video.
