Equipment

Ingredients

  • 430 g icing sugar
  • 225 g butter straight from fridge
  • 70 g milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Few drops food coloring optional

Instructions

  • Add icing sugar to Thermomix bowl. Whizz for 10 seconds / speed 9. Set aside.
  • Chop butter into pieces and add to bowl. Mix to soften for 30 seconds / speed 5.
  • Add the milk, vanilla extract, icing sugar and food coloring (if using). Mix 30 seconds / speed 5.
  • Transfer to piping bag for frosting cupcakes.

Notes

You can make your own icing sugar in the Thermomix - just add white sugar to the bowl and blitz for a minute on speed 10. You may still find it more grainy than shop bought icing sugar though.
For best results, use butter straight from the fridge and chop it up into pieces before adding to the Thermomix bowl.
For chocolate buttercream icing, replace 60g of the icing sugar with cocoa powder.
For vanilla buttercream icing, add an additional 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
