- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- optional:1 teaspoon lavender extract
- optional: lavender food coloring
Instructions
- in the bowl of a mixer beat butter until smooth and light in color.
- in a separate medium bowl whisk powdered sugar so there are no lumps, then add the creamer and extract(s), mix until it's a really thick syrup (add an additional tablespoon or two of creamer if needed) pour or spoon into the butter in mixer bowl and beat on high until combined.
