How to Make Vienna Cream Frosting Better Than Cream
- Beat 125g (½ cup) softened butter in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (approximately 3-5 minutes).
- Gradually beat in 125g (½ cup) caster sugar, ensuring it's fully incorporated before adding more.
- Add 60ml (¼ cup) milk and beat until smooth.
- Gradually add the remaining 125g (½ cup) caster sugar, beating until the mixture is light, fluffy, and white.
- For a thicker frosting, add icing sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- For a thinner frosting, gradually add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- **Variations:**
- **Chocolate:** Add 40-60g (2-3 tablespoons) cocoa powder with the sugar and a little extra milk (5-10ml) if needed.
- **Coffee:** Dissolve 15g (3 teaspoons) instant coffee in 40ml (2 tablespoons) hot water and add to the frosting.
- **Lemon:** Substitute 60ml (¼ cup) lemon juice for the milk. Add 1-2 teaspoons of lemon zest for extra zing.
- **Orange:** Substitute 60ml (¼ cup) orange juice for the milk. Add 1-2 teaspoons of orange zest for extra flavor.
- **Custom Flavors/Colors:** Add food coloring and flavor extracts (vanilla, almond, etc.) to your liking. For pink, try a few drops of rosewater and cochineal.
- Once the frosting is ready, frost your baked goods immediately and enjoy!
