Spiced Rum Caramel Butter Cream Frosting

Spiced Rum Caramel Butter Cream Frosting

Ingredients

  • 227 grams unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 360 grams powdered sugar, sifted
  • 45 grams Peasant House Spiced Rum Caramel Simple Syrup
  • 30 grams heavy cream or whole milk
  • 2 grams vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of sea salt

Steps

  • Beat the butter: Make sure 227 grams of unsalted butter, softened to room temperature, is truly soft. It should indent easily when you press it. Beat it alone with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until fluffy and pale.
  • Add the powdered sugar: Add 360 grams of powdered sugar, sifted one cup at a time, mixing on low after each addition so you don't end up wearing it. Once all the sugar is in, bump up to medium and mix for another minute.
  • Add the syrup & spices: Add 45 grams Peasant House Spiced Rum Caramel Simple Syrup, 2 grams vanilla extract, and 1 pinch of sea salt. Mix on medium until fully combined and smooth.
  • Whip to perfection: Add 30 grams of heavy cream or whole milk one tablespoon at a time and beat on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and spreadable. Taste and adjust, more syrup for sweetness, more salt to balance.
  • Frost & enjoy: Use immediately on a cooled cake, or store in the fridge in an airtight container. If refrigerated, let it come back to room temp and give it a quick re-whip before frosting. 🎂
