Hot Buttered Rum Cupcake Frosting

This frosting doesn't have alcohol in it, but it's not simply a browned butter frosting. You may want to double this recipe if you are like me and use a lot on each cupcake!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup browned butter, firm from refrigeration
  • 1/4 cup regular butter, softened
  • 4 cups confectioner sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp cream, almond milk or non-dairy sweet creamer
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 pinches cloves, to taste as it can be overpowering

Instructions

  1. Mix the two butters alone for approximately one minute. This incorporates the two types of butter together and makes them fluffy.

  2. Carefully pour in the sugar, 1 cup at a time, until mixed thoroughly.


  3. Add in the cream, using only enough to achieve the proper consistency.


  4. Once you're happy with the consistency, add in the spices. Mix gently until only mixed through. Place into large piping bag with your choice of tips and pipe onto cooled and glazed cupcakes.
