Buttercream Frosting Recipe For Cake Pops
Ingredients
If you’re looking for the perfect buttercream frosting recipe for cake pops, then you’ve come to the right place. This recipe is easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 3¾ cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Making the buttercream is easy. Start by creaming together the butter and the confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the vanilla extract and cream and beat for 3 to 5 minutes until everything is blended together and smooth. The buttercream should be a nice creamy consistency, not too thick and not too thin.
Once the buttercream is made, you can use it to frost your cake pops. Place a spoonful of the buttercream onto each cake pop and spread it around to cover the entire surface. If the buttercream is too thick, you can add a few drops of cream to thin it out. Once the cake pops are frosted, you can decorate them with sprinkles, nuts, or other edible decorations.
Nutrition
This recipe makes about 3 cups of buttercream frosting, which is enough to cover about 24 cake pops. Each cake pop with frosting contains approximately 150 calories, 9 grams of fat, 15 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein. So while this is a delicious treat, it should be enjoyed in moderation.
If you’re looking for a lower calorie alternative, you can use a mixture of Greek yogurt and confectioners’ sugar to make a healthier frosting. Simply mix together 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy. This frosting is much lower in calories, fat, and sugar than traditional buttercream frosting.
Storage
This buttercream frosting will keep for up to a week if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you’re not going to use the frosting right away, it’s best to let it cool completely before storing it. The frosting can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to use the frosting, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then beat it with a hand mixer until it is light and fluffy again. If the frosting is still too thick, add a few drops of cream to thin it out.
Tips and Tricks
If you want to give your frosting a different flavor, you can add in a few drops of food coloring to make it more vibrant. You can also add in other flavors, such as cocoa powder, almond extract, or peppermint extract. To make it extra special, you can also add a few drops of liqueur or a sprinkle of crushed candy.
Another great way to make your cake pops stand out is to add an edible glitter. This will give them a beautiful sparkle and make them look even more special. You can also use fondant to make shapes or decorations for the top of your cake pops.
No matter how you choose to decorate your cake pops, this buttercream frosting recipe is sure to be a hit. It’s easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. Enjoy!
