Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup butter, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
½ fluid ounce bourbon whiskey
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the milk solids turn brown and give off a nutty fragrance, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining 1/4 butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Pour the browned butter into the mixing bowl and set aside for about three minutes, letting the warm butter soften the cream cheese and cold butter. Scrape the black seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the bowl. Add the bourbon and mix on low speed until smooth.
  • Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and cream, alternating between the two, until the proper consistency is reached. If the frosting is too soft for decorating, refrigerate it for about half an hour before using.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Use the best cream cheese, butter, and bourbon you can find. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the frosting.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeating the frosting will make it dense and grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the frosting before using: Chilling the frosting will make it easier to spread and will help it to hold its shape.
  • Use bourbon that you enjoy drinking: The type of bourbon you use will affect the flavor of the frosting. Choose a bourbon that you like the taste of.
  • Be careful not to add too much bourbon: Too much bourbon can make the frosting too thin and runny. Add the bourbon in small increments until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Use the frosting on your favorite cakes and cupcakes: Bourbon cream cheese frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of baked goods.

Conclusion:

Bourbon cream cheese frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make frosting that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, creamy, and has a subtle flavor of bourbon.
