Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl and beat it using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the butter is creamy and lighter in color.

Step 2

Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 3

Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and add the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the icing reaches your desired consistency.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then continue beating for 1-2 minutes on medium-high speed until the icing is fluffy and smooth.

Step 5

Taste the icing and adjust the flavors, adding more vanilla extract or a tiny bit of salt if needed.

Step 6

Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow the icing to come to room temperature and re-whip if needed before using.
