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!
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
2-3 tbsp heavy cream (adjust for desired consistency)
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.
Add the honey, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium until fully blended.
Gradually add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until the frosting becomes smooth and reaches a spreadable or pipeable consistency.
Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Re-whip before using for best texture.
For a thicker frosting, chill slightly before piping.
Can be flavored with citrus zest, cinnamon, or almond extract for variation.
Great for decorating naturally sweet desserts or breakfast pastries like scones and pancakes.
