Lemon Cream Filling

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

Beat the butter, lemon zest, lemon extract, vanilla and salt in a small bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and creamy. Add the confectioners’ sugar and continue beating until a thick icing forms. With beaters running, add just enough cream so that the mixture thins out into a pastelike consistency.
