I am 8-months pregnant with baby C and knew I couldn't stand to cook egg whites for SMBC so I decided to look for something easier and frankly more kid friendly. This recipe was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and didn't take a long time to make. Also perfectly pipable and it held all night before the party.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks), softened
- 4 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3-5 tablespoons heavy cream (I used 4 tbsp to get the consistency in the photo)
Instructions:
- Using a paddle beater, beat softened butter on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
- Add sifted confectioner's sugar and stir on low until incorporated.
- Add vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Beat on medium-high for 3 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides once or twice.
- If a thinner frosting is desired, add additional heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
