Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth blending.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
Step 4
Once all the powdered sugar is combined, add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip the frosting for an additional 3-5 minutes until the texture is creamy and fluffy.
Step 5
Taste the frosting. If you desire a thinner consistency, add an extra tablespoon of heavy cream and beat again. For a thicker consistency, sift and add a bit more powdered sugar.
Step 6
Use the frosting immediately to decorate cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 hours. Refrigerate if storing for longer, but allow to come back to room temperature and re-whip before using.
