Ingredients:

Serving

10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3/4 tsp orange zest, grated
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar (5 oz)
1 pinch table salt
2 tsp orange juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp heavy cream

Directions:

In standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat butter at medium-high speed until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add orange zest and beat mixture at medium-high speed to combine, about 15 seconds. Add confectioners' sugar and salt; beat at medium-low speed until most of the sugar is moistened, about 45 seconds. Scrape down bowl and beat at medium speed until mixture is fully combined, about 15 seconds; scrape bowl, add orange juice, vanilla, and heavy cream, and beat at medium speed until incorporated, about 10 seconds, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down bowl once or twice.
