Less Sweet American Buttercream Frosting

Step 1

Beat the butter and salt until smooth, light and fluffy.

Step 2

Add the confectioner's sugar in two or three additions, mixing on low speed until everything is combined. Remember to scrape down the bowl a few times as you mix.

Step 3

Add Greek yogurt and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Continue whipping as needed to get your desired consistency.

Step 4

You can adjust the amounts of salt, vanilla, and yogurt to suit your taste. Just keep in mind that the amount of yogurt will affect the consistency of the frosting.

Step 5

You can whip the frosting at a medium-high speed to create a lighter frosting. Whipping for longer at a lower speed will have the same effect but prevent large air bubbles from forming.
