Ingredients
1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
4 cups (480 g) powdered sugar, sifted
2–3 tablespoons whole milk (adjust for desired consistency)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4–6 drops Natural White Food Color – Water Soluble Extract (adjust to achieve pure white tone)
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional, to balance sweetness)
Directions
Cream the butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter on medium speed for 3–4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Add powdered sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add milk and vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat on medium speed until creamy and smooth.
Add the natural white color: Mix in Natural White Food Color – Water Soluble Extract a few drops at a time. Continue beating until the frosting becomes bright white and silky.
Adjust consistency: If too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.
Use immediately or store: Spread over cooled cakes or cupcakes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Re-whip before use if chilled.
