Whipped Buttercream Frosting

Whipped Buttercream Frosting is the best frosting ever! This frosting is made without powdered sugar. It has the rich creaminess of a buttercream & the light, airy texture of a whipped cream frosting!

This Whipped Buttercream Frosting recipe pretty much blew my mind.

I owe a big thank you to my other mother, Marilynn, for this recipe (She was married to my father, and “other mother” is more fitting than “step mom”). I’m not a big frosting person; most buttercream frostings are just ok, and I can take them or leave them.

INGREDIENTS

• 7 tablespoons (53 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups (330 g) milk
• 1 ½ tablespoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups (283 g) salted butter at cool room temperature*
• 1 ½ cups (297 g) granulated sugar
• Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk together over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. It will be the consistency of a thick paste. Make sure that you whisk the flour and milk together well before you begin cooking it to avoid lumps. 
2. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. This step is key. If your mixture is warm, it will melt your butter, and you'll end up with runny frosting. 
3. Stir in vanilla.
4. ..............
