Butter adds rich flavor and a dense texture that helps hold together the sugar, vanilla extract and milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confectioners&#8217; sugar:\u00a0<\/strong>When making a smooth and creamy frosting, confectioners&#8217; sugar is your best option for sweetening: It blends evenly and consistently with the butter, without leaving clumps or a grainy texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:\u00a0<\/strong>This simple ingredient is key to adding deep vanilla flavor, and it mixes in nicely with the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2% milk:\u00a0<\/strong>We add milk to this easy vanilla frosting recipe to prevent it from getting too thick. A bit of milk helps thin out the frosting, making it easier to spread.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3><b>Step 1: Combine the\u00a0ingredients and mix until smooth<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2077334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Vanilla-Frosting_TOHD24_30118_ChristineMa_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Combine ingredients\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, beat the butter until it&#8217;s creamy.

The consistency of the peanut butter mixes in nicely with the buttercream and makes for a fully-flavored frosting that&#8217;s perfect for cakes or cookies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Vanilla Frosting<\/h2>\n<p>Homemade vanilla frosting stores really nicely in the refrigerator. Once the frosting is mixed, transfer it to an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does vanilla frosting last?<\/h3>\n<p>If stored properly in the refrigerator, this easy vanilla frosting can last for up to seven days.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Vanilla Frosting Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2077336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Vanilla-Frosting_TOHD24_30118_ChristineMa_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Vanilla frosting recipe by Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should I start with cold ingredients?<\/h3>\n<p>When making homemade vanilla frosting, it&#8217;s best to start with room-temperature ingredients.

Using room-temperature ingredients ensures that everything mixes together evenly and consistently.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to mix this frosting?<\/h3>\n<p>An electric handheld mixer or stand mixer is the best way to mix this vanilla frosting until smooth.

I was afraid to mess it up so, I put the milk in a teaspoon at a time while mixing. When I was finished the frosting was light and creamy; not dense at all or runny. My kids loved it!

To 4.5 cups of powdered sugar I use 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter, yes it's OK to do that, it's called buttercream for a reason. I think that like fudge buttercream frosting is affected by humidity in the air and when using powdered sugar a little liquid goes a long way. I always start out by mixing together the butter and powdered sugar till it's as mixed as it can get and then the milk, I use half and half with the liquid flavoring added to it. With liquid every drop counts so I start with less liquid then called for and then go from there til I get the consistency I want, I have noticed that over the last year or so this site has revamped recipes and seems to dwell on 2% milk instead of the 96% lean (4%) milk which I always have a gallon of in my fridge along with a container of half and half and heavy cream. There is no low fat or non-fat any kind of dairy in our house and we're healthy. I gave this recipe 3 stars because it really doesn't have enough butter. You can't put health before flavor, texture and comfort factor.

You might want to try adding one pasteurized egg, after all the ingredients have been beaten well.   It makes the frosting more fluffy and flavorful.  Make sure butter is room temperature, soft.  Beat the butter first, gradually add the powered sugar and some milk.  If the frosting looks too dry, add more milk and if too liquid, add more sugar.  Beat on high and for at least 5 minutes.  Then add the egg.  You might have to add more sugar, after adding the egg because the egg is part of the moisture.  I use whole milk.  It is heavier than 2%.  The frosting is delicious.  Colleen, you probably needed to beat the ingredients more.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-03-04","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Guest6831"},"reviewBody":"I don\u2019t know what the last two comments were talking about but hands down easy and came out perfect!!!

I ended up with a butter cream that had small white chunks in it, something that I think a few of the one star reviews also ended up with. I'm not an experienced baker, so I was wondering what I may have done wrong? I assumed that I may not have beat the butter enough in the beginning, but I'm not sure.

You can even substitute some room temperature cream cheese for a small part (maybe 1\/4) of the butter. A good way to use up that little bit of leftover cream cheese, especially if you've made a spice cake or carrot cake. If I make chocolate, I usually use a few chunks of unsweetened baking chocolate that I've melted in the microwave. Just be sure the chocolate's melted but not too hot.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-06-19","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"muffbear74"},"reviewBody":"Nice flavor and consistency.

For example, try sifting your sugar before mixing to make your frosting smoother. Or, if you'd like your frosting to be on the fluffier side, beat it for a few extra minutes to add extra air. To make your frosting thinner, add more milk; to make your frosting thicker, add more sugar. \r\n<h3>How can you make other flavors from this vanilla buttercream frosting recipe? <\/h3><div>Vanilla buttercream frosting is a versatile base, making it easy to change the flavor with the addition of one or two ingredients. For a quick fix, substitute the vanilla extract with extract flavors such as peppermint, almond, coconut or maple.  However, for flavors that don't have easy to find extracts, such as peanut butter or chocolate, try adding 1\/2 cup of peanut butter (in place of the butter) or 1\/2 cup of baking cocoa (in place of the last 1\/2 cup of sugar) directly to the frosting mix with an extra tablespoon or two of milk. You can even add food dye if you'd like to change the color. <\/div><div><h3>What can you frost with vanilla buttercream frosting? <\/h3><\/div><div>Vanilla buttercream frosting would go great on top of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/yellow-cupcakes\/\"> cupcakes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sugar-cookies\/\">cookies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-fudgy-brownies\/\">brownies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/butter-pound-cake\/\">cake<\/a> or anything else that could benefit from a sweet addition.<br><br><i>\u2014Sammi DiVito, Taste Recipes Assistant Editor<\/i><\/div>"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51665,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes &amp; Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
