Turn the mixer to highest speed and beat the mixture for a full 10 minutes, stopping occasionally to wipe down the side and mix in to the frosting.
After 10 minutes turn the mixer off.
Add the remaining Confectioner's sugar.
Turn the mixer on to low and mix until the sugar is blended in.
Add a little water if necessary to achieve the texture you want.
