Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks, at room temperature) Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to beat the unsalted butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until the sugar is mostly incorporated.
Add the Frangelico, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Beat on low speed for 1-2 minutes to combine.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for another 2-3 minutes, or until it is smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
If the frosting is too thick, add additional heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If it is too thin, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using if stored.
