Chocolate Frosting with Baileys
Ingredients:
10 Tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa powder (I recommend Hershey’s Dutch Processed Cocoa or in Dom. Rep. MUNNE )
2 tablespoons of Irish Baileys cream or Bourbon
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 lb confectioner’s sugar sifted (4 ¾ cups)
3 table spoons of hot milk
Instructions:
1. In large mixer bowl, combine butter, cocoa, bourbon, corn syrup and salt. Beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth.
2. Gradually beat in confectioner’s sugar alternating with hot milk a little at a time, until spreading consistency is smooth. Beat at medium speed until fluffy.
Notes:
a) I recommend you to use a good brand of cocoa.
b) Icing is a more professional term used when talking about frosting that is stiffer and pipes well. But, it is a much debated topic of discussion. Some feel that frosting is considered homespun or creamier and softer than icing. Others feel that frostings are the thickest and creamiest, followed by icings and glazes, which are thinner.
