Best Whipped Buttercream Frosting
Super creamy and fluffy, not too sweet, and just 4 ingredients — this is quite possibly the best whipped buttercream frosting recipe ever… A must try!
Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter 2 sticks, softened
- 4 cups confectioners sugar sifted
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3-5 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Using a paddle beater, beat the softened butter on medium speed for about 3 minutes or until it's a pale yellow color.
- Add sifted confectioners' sugar and stir on low until incorporated.
- Add pure vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Beat on medium-high for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy, 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.
Recipe Notes
I used regular pure vanilla extract in this batch, which is why the frosting has a creamy color to it. If you prefer a truer white buttercream, you’ll want to look for clear vanilla extract.
If you would like to add color to this fluffy buttercream frosting, I recommend using a good quality soft gel paste food coloring.
