- 3Add one teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or extract.
- 4If desired, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to compensate for the butter being added.
- 5Use a mixer to whip all ingredients together until smooth and fluffy.
- 6Taste the frosting to check for desired sweetness and consistency.

- 0.5 cup softened butter

Tips
- If you think the frosting is too sweet, the butter helps cut that sweetness.
- If you add unsalted butter or cream cheese, make sure you add about 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Whipping the frosting, even without adding anything, will increase its volume and make it look better and fluffier, like a homemade frosting.
