Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Optional: cinnamon sticks or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
2. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed to incorporate before increasing to medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3. Once the powdered sugar is fully incorporated, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the frosting is light, fluffy, and pipeable.
4. Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or cinnamon levels as desired. If it's too thick, add a teaspoon of heavy cream at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. If it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
5. Transfer the frosting into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
6. Pipe the frosting into small shot glasses or mini dessert cups, filling them up to the rim.
7. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, sprinkles, or an extra dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
8. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before serving.
