How to Make Vanilla Cream Icing

  1. In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. If the icing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  5. If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer to a piping bag or bowl for decorating or frosting.
