For a smoother frosting, ensure your butter is properly softened but not melted. Slightly softened butter is easier to cream. Sifting the confectioners' sugar prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth final product. If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream at a time until you reach your desired consistency. For a vanilla variation, substitute the almond extract with 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.

Feb 17, 2023I found it a little too sweet, so I reduced the confectioners sugar by 1/4 cup, and it was perfect for me.
