Funfetti Homemade Frosting Recipe
Description
This frosting recipe starts with very soft unsalted butter beaten until light and fluffy to form a creamy base. Powdered sugar is added gradually along with heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to balance sweetness and enhance flavor. The frosting is mixed on high speed to eliminate any lumps, ensuring a smooth texture.
The final step is folding in sprinkles gently to distribute them evenly without breaking them. The buttercream has a fluffy yet dense consistency suitable for spreading or piping to decorate baked goods. Its sweetness and the colorful sprinkles create a festive appearance and texture contrast.
The frosting can be covered and refrigerated for up to two weeks, allowing for convenience in preparation ahead of time. Bring it to room temperature and briefly re-whip before use to restore spreadability.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened (3 sticks
- 5-6 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 ounces jimmies sprinkles
Instructions
- Make sure the butter is very soft. (Let is sit out at room temperature for 1-2 hours if needed.) Set out an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Place the butter in the bowl of the mixer.
- Beat the butter on high for 2 minutes, until it's light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Turn the mixer on low and add in 2 cups powdered sugar. Beat until incorporated, then add in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Scrape the bowl again. Then turn the mixer on low and slowly add in 3-4 more cups of powdered sugar. Once incorporated, turn on high for 1 minute to beat out all the clumps.
- Turn the mixer back on low and mix in the sprinkles. Stop once they look even. If you beat the sprinkles too long, they will start to break. (Mix the sprinkles in with a spatula if your mixer does not have a very low setting.)
Notes
- Let the butter soften at room temperature for 1-2 hours before starting for easiest mixing.
- Slowly add powdered sugar and mix thoroughly to prevent lumps and achieve smooth texture.
- Fold in sprinkles at low mixer speed or with a spatula to keep their shape intact.
- Refrigerate frosting covered for up to two weeks; re-whip lightly before use if needed.
