Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 pound (4 cups) confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to medium. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; after every two additions, raise speed to high and beat 10 seconds to aerate frosting, then return to medium-high. This process should take about 5 minutes. Frosting will be very pale and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla, and beat until frosting is smooth. If not using immediately, frosting can be refrigerated up to 10 days in an airtight container. Before using, bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth again, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a fluffy frosting, start with softened butter. This will make it easier to whip and incorporate air, resulting in a light and airy texture.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cherries. This will prevent them from tearing and bleeding into the frosting.
  • If you want a more intense cherry flavor, use maraschino cherries. These cherries are packed in a sugar syrup, which gives them a sweeter, more pronounced taste.
  • If you don't have maraschino cherries, you can use fresh or frozen cherries. Just be sure to pit and chop them before adding them to the frosting.
  • Add the cherries to the frosting at the end of the mixing process. This will prevent them from breaking down and losing their shape.
  • Use a piping bag or a spoon to spread the frosting on your cake or cupcakes. This will help you create a smooth, even layer of frosting.
  • If you're not using the frosting right away, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.

Conclusion:

Fluffy cherry frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It's perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even ice cream. The cherry flavor is sweet and tart, and the frosting is light and fluffy. It's a great way to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your desserts.
