Ingredients
- 1 lb Butter Unsalted, softened
- 2 lb Powdered Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ⅓ cup Milk
- 2-4 drops LorAnn Cheesecake Oil Optional
Instructions
- Using an electric or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat softened butter until it is soft and smooth. Approx 5-10 minutes depending on how soft the butter was to start with. You may need to scrape the sides to fully incorporate the butter.
- Change to whip attachment and add powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, cheesecake oil, and milk. Begin mixing on low speed then slowly increase to medium. Continue mixing until the buttercream is light and fluffy. The key to this buttercream is whipping it. It transforms into a silky, melt-in-your-mouth frosting.
