Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 500 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 ml Crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 tablespoons Pineapple juice, reserved from the crushed pineapple
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. This will help prevent the powdered sugar from puffing out of the bowl.
Step 3
Once all the powdered sugar has been incorporated, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 1 minute until the texture is fluffy.
Step 4
Add the drained crushed pineapple, pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Step 5
Mix the icing on low speed at first to combine, then increase to medium speed and beat for another 1-2 minutes until smooth and well blended.
Step 6
If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If the icing is too thick, add a small amount of pineapple juice to thin it out.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the icing to come to room temperature and remix before using.
