Chocolate Buttercream

Chocolate Buttercream in a Food Processor?? Yes, I make buttercream in my food processor.....do you know why?? Its so easy and NO sugar-dust-storm on my kitchen counter top....that means less clean up....and no snooty ants!! Isn't that really cool!!

For a long time I used my hand held mixer for making butter cream, but then because of the "Sugar-dust-storm" I stopping using that...and the clean up after that made me cringe every time  "buttercream" is demanded by loved ones to finish a cake!! Many of you might have endured my predicament; okay if you have a kitchenaid, this is not for you. I do not own one, nor I see owning one in the near future, mainly because of limited space in my kitchen....well, I guess that made me a food processor addict  I guess my Philips food processor is the "most photographed" gadget here on my blog....In case you, you are wondering whether roti dough can be mixed in food processor; then just peep into my tandoori roti recipe or should I share a post on roti dough?? nevertheless the possibilities of using food processor to the maximum is unlimited...do drop in to my facebook page for discussions and recipes....don't be shy to leave a comment or a thought.

That said, lets get back to the buttercream; the best thing about buttercream in foodprocessor is that you just.have to close the feeder hole with a towel....end of stormy powdered sugar!! Isn't that double awesome!!

Notes: This is just a basic chocolate buttercream, enough to cover a cake or a brownie. You can also make vanilla buttercream in the same way.

chocolate buttercream recipe | how to make chocolate buttercream:
Make sure the food processor bowl /jar is dry. Dump all the ingredients into it.


Close with the lid and put a towel on the feeder opening and press with your hand while it is running....No Sugar Storm!!

Blitz for a minute, you will get something like coarse sand...... if needed you can add a little bit of butter maybe 1 tbsp or a little bit of honey and then bitz again for a minute.....it will look like this...scrape the sides down.

Again, close the lid....and blitz for another two minutes ..
Open the lid....and Voila!! Creamy, satiny, goeey buttercream...just for you!!

      Hello Anuradha, I was hoping for a question like this, the answer is No!! you cannot do this in a mixie...the reason is... have you noticed that our mixie bowl will heat up during grinding....with food processor there is no question of heat...as in the case of butter, the temperature should be correct...preferably room temperature!! I hope I cleared your doubt...and thank you for stopping by :)

      Yes you can, and for better results chill the whisks of the beater for 10 minutes before creaming.

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy.
