Please keep me posted on your results if you give it a shot. The white chocolate idea is a fantastic one!

I too am dairy free, and though I make regular Swiss Meringue Buttercream for others, I of course cannot partake of this silky, lovely icing! I am going to try this, and also use some melted dairy free white chocolate added at the end. My thought is that the chocolate will make the finished product firmer. Will let you know!

I'm a baker and I have been asked so many times about making sugar free cakes and I never knew how. I never knew about xylitol (just ordered some from Amazon) and I LOVE Swiss Meringue buttercream!

I tried this recipe for the whoopie pies. It was delicious, but not firm enough. I had to serve/use it cold. We're dairy free, too, so maybe it was the Earth Balance instead of butter that made the difference. The taste was amazing, though, so I am determined to get the consistency right. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. The whoopie pies were great! Just like I remembered them tasting; so glad I found a GF version that I could share with my daughter. Hi.
