Baileys Frosting with Mascarpone
An incredibly smooth Baileys frosting with creamy mascarpone cheese. This frosting tastes just like a cup of Baileys hot chocolate and is perfect for frosting cakes, cupcakes and pastries!
Ingredients
- 75 g mascarpone (⅓ cup)
- 40 g icing sugar (⅓ cup)
- 20 g Baileys Irish Cream (1 ½ tsp)
- 100 g heavy (double) cream (½ cup)
- 20 g hot chocolate powder (¼ cup)
- 1 teaspoon milk powder*
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Whisk together the mascarpone, sugar, hot chocolate and milk powder, cinnamon and Baileys.
- Whip the heavy (double) cream separately until stiff peaks are achieved. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag fitted with a nozzle and use immediately.
Notes
- I recommend using a kitchen scale in grams for more accuracy. The cups used for the conversion are standard US customary cups (1 cup flour = 136g). There are many different types of cups across the globe, which is why I strongly recommend using grams instead.
- This recipe is enough to frost 12 cupcakes.
- Calories are indicative only and are calculated per serving (1 batch = 12 servings).
- Storing - this frosting is best used immediately. If needed, store in the fridge for up to 3 days. To use after chilling, whisk the frosting a bit to loosen it up.
