Ingredients

  • 1 stick (113g) salted butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups (452g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 jar (213g) marshmallow fluff
  • 1-2 tbsp milk, optional (add to thin buttercream if too thick)

Instructions

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter for about 2 minutes on medium-to-high speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix on low speed until incorporated, then increase your speed and mix well for about 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  • Add the marshmallow fluff and mix on medium-to-high speed for another 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed. If buttercream seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Use immediately or refrigerate until needed. Leftover buttercream can be frozen for up to 3 months.
