Instructions

1. 1

   Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until fully incorporated.

3. 3

   Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.

4. 4

   Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 3-4 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.

5. 5

   If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

6. 6

   Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
