Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until the sugar is fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the Kahlua coffee liqueur, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Beat on medium speed to combine.
Drizzle in the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and increase the mixer speed to high. Beat the frosting for 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and easily spreadable. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar for thicker frosting or a little more heavy cream for a thinner consistency.
Use immediately to frost your favorite baked goods. If not using right away, store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whisk before using.
