Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter on medium speed until it becomes fluffy and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, about 1/4 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while continuing to mix. Start with low speed to prevent splattering, then increase to medium speed and mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and mix until everything is fully incorporated and the filling is light and fluffy.
Transfer the cream filling to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip, if using immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, bring it to room temperature and re-whip if needed.
To fill cupcakes, insert the piping tip into the center of each cupcake and gently squeeze to inject the filling.
