Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Jump to Recipe

You will never buy frosting again after making this. It is SO easy to make and tastes amazing! So delicious and beyond simple to make. I did my best to keep this recipe on the healthier side….healthier than other homemade frosting recipes that is!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (quality matters!)
  • *Optional* food coloring (I used a few drops of red to turn mine pink)

Directions:

  1. Using a kitchen aid mixer (or bowl with electric mixer w/ whisk attachment), beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Next, add a pinch of salt and gradually add in 1 cup of powdered sugar, continue to beat after each addition.
  3. Then, add 2 tablespoons of milk and the vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Add in the 2nd cup of the powdered sugar, gradually.
  5. Finish by adding in 1 tablespoon of milk (if needed), based on desired thickness. Also, if you are adding food coloring, now is the time to add it in. Don’t forget, a little goes a long way!
  6. When completely mixed, put in the fridge to set for about 20 minutes before beginning to frost. Enjoy!

Hey! I'm Camille, part-time traveler and full-time foodie. I've always loved going on new adventures but didn't truly catch the travel bug until I lived abroad in Barcelona in 2013. Food on the other hand, has always been a passion of mine. I hope to inspire you to expand your travels and taste buds.
