Oil Soluble Pineapple

This pineapple buttercream is smooth, creamy, and packed with a bright tropical punch, thanks to the use of oil-soluble pineapple flavor extract. Unlike natural juice or water-based extracts, oil-soluble flavoring blends perfectly with butter for a stable, flavorful frosting that won’t separate. Ideal for summer cakes, luau cupcakes, or fruit-forward bakes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3 ½ cups (420g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 ½ tsp oil-soluble pineapple flavor extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: yellow gel food coloring for a vibrant pineapple hue

Directions

  1. To make this tropical pineapple buttercream frosting with oil-soluble extract, start by beating softened butter in a large mixing bowl on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until it becomes pale and fluffy.

  2. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until just combined.

  3. Once all the sugar is incorporated, add in 1 ½ teaspoons of oil-soluble pineapple flavor extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

  4. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

  5. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip the buttercream for another 2–3 minutes until light and airy.

  6. For an extra tropical touch, add a drop or two of yellow food coloring. This pineapple-flavored buttercream is perfect for frosting cupcakes, layer cakes, or piping decorative borders and swirls.
