Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick, softened to room temperature
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar sifted
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment until smooth and creamy.
- Add 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until well combined and smooth. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat for an additional minute.
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. If the frosting is too thin, add more confectioners' sugar; if it's too thick, add a touch more cream. You're aiming for a creamy and spreadable consistency.
- Taste and add more salt or vanilla extract if desired.
