Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons (plus more if needed) heavy cream (or milk)
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, ensuring that each addition is fully mixed before adding the next.
Step 3
After all the powdered sugar has been incorporated, add the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt to the bowl.
Step 4
Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue to beat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream (or milk), 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon, if desired, by adding a bit more honey or cinnamon.
Step 7
Once finished, use the frosting immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature and re-whip before using if chilled.
