Buttercream Icing

By Peggie

Ingredients

• 1 cup of salted butter
• 3 teaspoons of vanilla
• 4 cups of icing sugar
• 4-5 tablespoons of coffee cream (18% and up)

Preparation

Step 1

Trust me on this one and use salted butter in this icing.

Whip that butter, with a paddle beater if you have it, if not, don’t worry.

Add in the icing sugar. **I came back to edit this to say that fresh icing sugar makes all the difference. Icing sugar goes stale, and you can sure taste it when it does! Crack open a fresh bag for icings, you won’t be sorry!**

Add in the cream. Not milk, cream. I used 4 tablespoons for my preference, you adjust to what you want.

Stiffer icing = less cream.

Whippier icing = more cream.

Vanilla…. I used 3 teaspoons, again, you can try a little more if you like.Then keep mixing it until fluffy and thoroughly combined
