Ingredients
- 16 ounces Store-bought frosting (any flavor)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, empty the entire container of store-bought frosting.
Step 2
2. Add the softened unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until well combined and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
3. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, while continuing to mix on low speed. This helps avoid lumps and a powdered sugar cloud in your kitchen!
Step 4
4. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 more minutes.
Step 5
5. Taste the frosting and adjust consistency if needed. For thinner frosting, add a teaspoon of milk at a time and mix. For thicker frosting, mix in a bit more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 6
6. Use immediately to frost your cake, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Let come to room temperature and re-whip before using if chilled.
