5 Minute Boozy Baileys Frosting

If you have 5 minutes, a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream, and a couple pantry staples, you can make this boozy Baileys frosting! Whipped up easily in a hand or stand mixer, this frosting is the perfect topping to my Guinness chocolate cake. It's fluffy, light, and makes enough to fill and frost a 9 inch cake or 12 cupcakes. This frosting is fun and festive, you'll want to make it over and over again.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter
  • 3 1/2 cups (420 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Bailey's Irish Cream
  • 1 tbsp (1 tbsp) Milk
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) Guinness syrup , from Guinness Cake Recipe (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add the 1 cup butter and 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar and mix on low-medium speed for 30 seconds-1 minute.
  • When the mixture looks like a paste (turn up the speed if its not coming together) then stop and scrape the mixture.
  • With the mixer running on low, add in 2 tsp Baileys, 1 tbsp milk, and 1 tsp of the Guinness syrup if using.
  • Mix on med-high speed to fluff it up, for 1 minute.

Notes

If the frosting is too thick, thin it out with a little milk. If its too thin, add 1/4 cup more powdered sugar and mix again until you get to the consistency you want.
