Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing on low speed to prevent a mess. Beat until well incorporated.
Add the Kahlua, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt to the mixture. Start mixing on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high, until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Taste the frosting and adjust consistency if needed. Add more heavy cream (1 teaspoon at a time) for a thinner consistency or more powdered sugar for a thicker texture.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let sit at room temperature and re-whip before using.
