Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1/4 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp White wine vinegar
1 tbsp Garlic, minced
1 clove Dijon mustard
1/2 tbsp Honey
To taste - Salt and black pepper
1 tbsp Salt and black pepper

Equipment

1 Medium mixing bowl
1 Whisk or immersion blender
1 Cheese grater
1 Measuring spoons and cups
1 Garlic press or knife

Method

Step 1: Whip the Butter

Place softened butter in a mixing bowl.
Beat on medium-high for 6–7 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Scrape sides occasionally. This step is key to smooth, light frosting.

Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar

Lower speed to low.
Add sifted sugar gradually, one cup at a time.
Scrape frequently to ensure even mixing.

Step 3: Add Liquids and Flavor

Add vanilla, cream (or milk), and salt.
Mix on low for one minute.
The frosting should be soft, creamy, and pipeable.

Step 4: Check Consistency

If too thick, add a small splash of cream.
If too soft, add a little more sugar.
Scrape and mix briefly for an even texture.

Notes

Control salt by adding it gradually – Parmesan brings its own saltiness, so taste often.
Use good-quality oil; it makes the flavor pop without any bitterness.
Let it rest for 10 minutes after mixing to meld the tastes.
If it sits, re-whisk before serving to bring back that creamy unity.
