Honey Sweetened Buttercream
Easy buttercream frosting sweetened with honey. Perfect for Paleo or GAPS diet desserts! Make this vanilla buttercream icing today!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp gelatin, (we use grassfed)
- 1/4 cup honey, or to taste (maple syrup also works)
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla, (we use homemade)
Instructions
- Gently heat water just enough to dissolve gelatin. Stir well, add honey.
- Remove from heat and allow to come to room temperature.
- Beat butter until creamy and smooth, a paddle attachment works best!
- Slowly add water/gelatin mix and beat until light and fluffy.Note: You will need to scrap down the sides often, and I have found that if I turn up the mixer to high and shield the edges with a towel (to avoid splashing) it takes about 5 minutes to incorporate the water.
- Add vanilla and any coloring, mix until well combined.
- Keep at room temperature to pipe, pipes really well!
Notes
Buttercream can be refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen for up to 6 months.
To use: allow icing to come to room temperature then use!
