Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup marshmallow fluff

Pinch of salt

Optional: food coloring for a pop of color

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed until creamy and pale, about 2-3 minutes.

    Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low to avoid a sugar cloud. Once combined, increase speed to medium and blend until fluffy.

      Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fully incorporated.

        Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff until the mixture is smooth and light.

          If using, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until you reach the desired hue.

            Taste and adjust sugar or flavoring as needed.

              Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
