Ingredients

  • 8 Tbsp 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • 1 vanilla bean I used a tsp of vanilla bean paste
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp grated orange zest
  • 2 tsp grated lemon zest

Instructions

  • Beat the butter in a mixer until light and creamy.
  • Cut the vanilla bean in half and scrape the beans out of the pod; save the pod for another use (I love to put them into a bowl of sugar; vanilla sugar is wonderful).
  • Add the beans, sugar and both orange and lemon zests to the bowl and beat until blended.
  • Scrape from the bowl and either pack into ramekins or pipe into a bowl.
