Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment to beat the unsalted butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until fully incorporated.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for another 2-3 minutes until the icing is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
If the icing is too thick, add an additional teaspoon of heavy cream at a time to reach the desired consistency. If it is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 5
Use immediately to frost your baked goods, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, bring back to room temperature and re-whip for a smoother texture.
