Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Vegetable shortening
- 8 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to cream the softened butter and vegetable shortening together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, adding one cup at a time, while beating on low speed to prevent it from puffing out of the bowl. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla extract, milk, and salt.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for 3-5 minutes or until smooth, fluffy, and creamy. Adjust the consistency if needed—add a tablespoon of milk at a time for a softer texture or more powdered sugar for a firmer consistency.
The frosting is now ready to use. It can be tinted with gel or liquid food coloring as desired. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and rewhip before use.
