Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 250 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 ml Pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter. Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Step 2
Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and creamy.
Step 3
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 50 grams at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent it from puffing out of the bowl.
Step 4
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the mixture for 2-3 more minutes until the icing is smooth, fluffy, and fully combined.
Step 6
Taste the icing and add more powdered sugar (1 tablespoon at a time) if a thicker consistency is desired, or a teaspoon of pineapple juice for a thinner frosting.
Step 7
Spread or pipe the pineapple icing onto cooled cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
