Categories     Frosting

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
4 - 5 cups (480-600g) confectioners' sugar (see note)
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add 4 and 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, the heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2 full minutes. Taste. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. I always add 1/8 teaspoon.
  • You can control the consistency at this point- add up to 1/2 cup more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or more heavy cream if frosting is too thick (add only 1 Tablespoon at a time, beat together, then taste and add more if desired).
  • Use immediately or cover tightly and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. After freezing, thaw in the refrigerator then beat the frosting on medium speed for a few seconds so it's creamy again. After thawing or refrigerating, beating in a splash of heavy cream or milk will help thin the frosting out again, if needed.

VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (FROM SPRINKLES CUPCAKES)



Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (From Sprinkles Cupcakes) image

My sister got this buttercream frosting off the box of a Sprinkles Cupcake mix, made famous by Oprah. My sister said this was amazing. Update: I have finally gotten around to making this myself. I will say, that I don't like my desserts overly sweet and. though this was very good, I think I would probably decrease the amount of sugar for my personal taste. I'm glad everyone else has liked it as-is, though. :)

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups confectioners' sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk (plus more, if needed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Have all ingredients at room temperature.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat together the confectioners' sugar, butter, the 2 tablespoons milk, the vanilla and salt on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. If the frosting is dry, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it is creamy but still holds peaks.

Tips:

  • Confectioners' sugar should be sifted to remove any lumps and create a smooth frosting.
  • Add vanilla extract and salt to taste, adjusting the amount based on your personal preference.
  • Start with a small amount of milk or cream and gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add more milk or cream. If it is too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • To make a chocolate frosting, add cocoa powder to taste.
  • For a citrusy frosting, add lemon zest or orange zest.
  • For a nutty frosting, add chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts.
  • For a colorful frosting, add food coloring.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
