Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter flavored shortening room temperature
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 lbs powdered sugar or about 8 cups (sifted for best results)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 oz heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, cream shortening  and butter until fluffy.  
  • Add sugar, one cup at a time, mixing a bit between each addition. When adding sugar, you will want to start the mixer slowly so it doesn't explode everywhere.
  • Continue creaming until well blended.
  • Add salt, vanilla, and 6 ounces whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. 
  • Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
