Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature so it is soft and easy to whip.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to whip the softened butter on medium speed until it is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed at first to prevent a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed for another 2-3 minutes until the icing is slightly airy and creamy.

Step 5

If the consistency is too thick, add more heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. For a thicker icing, add additional powdered sugar in small increments.

Step 6

Use immediately to ice cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow the icing to come back to room temperature and give it a quick whip before using if stored.
