Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened, 227 g)
- 4 cups powdered sugar (454 g)
- 1 tbsp cherry syrup
- ½ tsp milk
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the softened butter and powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Add Cherry Syrup and Milk: Pour in the cherry syrup and ½ teaspoon of milk. Mix again on low to medium speed until the frosting is fully combined and has a super fluffy texture.
- Frost Your Desserts: Use the frosting immediately to top cherry cupcakes, black forest brownies, or any desserts of your choice for a delicious cherry-flavored finish.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming and a smooth frosting texture.
- Adjust the amount of cherry syrup to suit your preferred level of cherry flavor and sweetness.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a few more drops of milk to reach desired consistency.
- For best results, chill the frosted baked goods slightly to set the frosting before serving.
- This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
