• actieve tijd: 20 minutes
• totale tijd: 20 minutes

Ingrediënten

5 cups (600g) powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructies

**See notes for frosting amounts and customizations (how to add chocolate, fruit, brown butter, spices, or color).

Add the butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. You can also use a hand mixer.

Mix on medium to medium-high speed until completely smooth.

Mix in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl after the 3rd cup.

After the 5th cup, scrape down the bowl again and mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.

If the frosting is too thin, place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to thicken. Otherwise, it’s ready to pipe or spread!
