Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3 - 4 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • Pinch salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Beat butter with a mixer - hand or stand - on medium for 2-3 minutes. 
  2. Add 3 cups of the powdered sugar 1/2 a cup at a time, and beat until well-combined. 
  3. Add vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat until well-combined.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons cream, and beat until combined. 
  5. If necessary, continue adding powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time or cream 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach desired consistency.

Notes

  • Vanilla: If you want whiter frosting, use clear vanilla. For reference, I used pure vanilla extract.
  • Cream: You can use milk in place of cream, but the frosting won't be as rich and creamy.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
