Description

Smooth, creamy, and naturally sweet—this Honey Buttercream Frosting is a wholesome alternative to traditional icing. Made with real honey and butter, it’s perfect for cupcakes, cakes, and cookies. Refined sugar-free and incredibly easy to whip up, it delivers rich flavor and a silky finish in just 10 minutes!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Honey Buttercream Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup raw honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 23 tbsp heavy cream (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  2. Add the honey, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium until fully blended.
  3. Gradually add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until the frosting becomes smooth and reaches a spreadable or pipeable consistency.
