Pink Peppermint Buttercream Frosting
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2-3 drops red food dye
Directions
Mix softened butter with an electric mixer or stand mixer on a medium setting and cream the butter until it is smooth and has lightened in color, for about 3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar, ½ a cup at a time. After each cup has been thoroughly mixed, turn the mixer onto the highest speed setting for about 10 seconds to lighten the frosting.
Mix in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
Add the heavy cream, peppermint extract, and food dye and mix well.
