Instructions

Prepare butter

Place the room temperature unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter is soft to avoid lumps.

Beat butter

Using a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add powdered sugar

Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on low speed after each addition.

Pro tip: Start on low speed to prevent sugar from puffing up.

Mix in vanilla

Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Incorporate cream

Slowly add the heavy cream while mixing on low speed, then increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until the filling is light and fluffy.

Check consistency

The filling should be smooth and hold its shape. If too thick, add a little more cream, a teaspoon at a time.

Pro tip: Chill for a firmer texture.
