Recipe Almond Buttercream Frosting Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE ALMOND BUTTERCREAM FROSTING RECIPE

Steps:

• I recommend using a stand mixer, if you have one, if you would also like to achieve the super light frosting feel. Even if you don't have one, you can still get that lightness, it will just involve you standing there with your hand mixer for a lot longer than you might want to stand there.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until it's a smooth consistency.
• Add in the powdered sugar, salt, and both extracts. Mix these well.
• Start adding in the milk a little at a time, especially if it becomes too difficult to mix the original mixture. Keep adding milk and beating the mixture until you reach your desired consistency.
• After you've added all the ingredients, add food coloring, if desired.

ALMOND BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• ⭐️Whip the butter and almond. Add butter and almond extract to the bowl of the mixer. Whip for 1-2 minutes until it's light and fluffy.
• ⭐️Add the other ingredients. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and salt. Slowly blend until powdered sugar is mixed in. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick. Turn mixer to high speed and whisk for 2-3 minutes or until the icing is light and fluffy. Add more milk to get the consistency you'd like.
• Add to decorating bag. Place desired tip into the decorating bag. Fold the top of the bag over to avoid getting icing on the outside of the bag. Fill the bag with icing, just over half full. Twist the top and gently squeeze until icing comes out. Use as desired. Store in the refrigerator or freeze the leftovers.

CLASSIC WHITE ALMOND BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. In large mixer bowl, beat butter until fluffy and lighter in color, about 5-8 minutes.
• 2. Turn mixer on low and slowly add confectioners sugar little by little. Make sure that sugar is incorporated prior to adding more. Frequently scrape down sides of the bowl.
• 3. Add salt, meringue powder if using, vanilla and almond extracts and butter flavoring until combined, frequently scrapping down sides of the bowl.
• 4. Add cream one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
• 5. Increase mixer speed to medium and continue beating frosting until it is almost pure white and fluffy, about 5 minutes. You are whipping air into your buttercream for that light and airy texture.
• 6. Frost cake(s) or store in airtight container until ready for use. You may keep at room temperature for up to 2 days. It will keep in refrigerator until expiration date on the butter used. Freeze for up to 1 month. If your buttercream has been refrigerated or frozen, bring to room temperature and rewhip, adding cream if needed to get desired texture.

ALMOND CUPCAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 cupcake cups with paper liners. In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
• In a mixing bowl, thoroughly cream together the sugar and 1/2 cup of margarine until very well blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined, and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, in several additions. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
• Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
• To make caramel, Place the brown sugar, 1/2 cup margarine, corn syrup, and vanilla into a large saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes; remove from heat and allow to cool to warm (not hot) temperature. Add the cream, a little at a time, until the caramel has the consistency of honey. Mix in the pinch of salt, and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Beat the salted butter with confectioners' sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is fluffy; slowly add and beat in the caramel, a tablespoon at a time, beating until the frosting is smooth.
