Cream Cheese Frosting With Brown Butter And Bourbon
Today i'm going to share my secret super quick and easy carrot cupcake recipe.
Recipe Summary Cream Cheese Frosting With Brown Butter And Bourbon
This frosting pairs perfectly with banana, carrot, and spice cakes. Browning the butter gives it a deep, nutty flavor. As with many buttercreams, you may need slightly more or less sugar to reach your desired consistency.Ingredients | Dessert Recipes With Cream Cheese Frosting
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
Directions
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.
For best results, use high-quality bourbon. I use Maker's Mark®. You may substitute 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for the vanilla bean seeds.

Dessert Recipes With Cream Cheese Frosting / I love the combination of cream cheese and banana cupcakes, and also that the frosting isn't loaded with powdered sugar.
