Ingredients

• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and confectioner’s sugar. Beat on low speed using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture comes together.
2. Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
4. Use the no-cook icing immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

**Additional Notes:**

• This no-cook icing can be flavored with other extracts or zest.
• If the mixture is too thick, add in additional heavy cream, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
• Take care not to overbeat the frosting as this can lead to a greasy texture.
