Share:
Ingredients
- 1½ cups unsalted butter room temperature (3 sticks)
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1 lime juiced and zested (about 2 tablespoons juice and 2 teaspoons zest)
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine all of the ingredients. Whip on low until the powdered sugar is about halfway incorporated, about 1 minute. If you whip at a higher speed before the powdered sugar is a little incorporated, it will fly out of the bowl.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium high and whip for another 30 seconds before increasing it to high. Whip for 3-4 minutes to allow the powdered sugar to dissolve into the butter and for it to get fluffy.
- Frost your cupcakes or cake and enjoy! (We love to use this frosting on these fun Pinata Cupcakes)
Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes enough for 2 cups of frosting.
- Storage: Store lime buttercream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
