How to Make Creamy Vanilla Frosting Icing
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt. Beat until combined.
- Slowly pour in the milk while mixing on low speed. Increase speed to medium and beat for another 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and creamy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time.
- Add food coloring or flavor extracts as desired and beat until evenly distributed.
- Frost your cakes, cupcakes, or cookies immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
