Bourbon Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting Food

BOURBON SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. Melt chocolate baking chips in microwave or double boiler until just melted. Set aside to cool.
• 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the softened butter on high until creamy, about 3 minutes. Now continue to beat on high until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• 3. Add sour cream, mix well until fully incorporated.
• 4. Slowly pour melted chocolate into the mixer, beating well until incorporated into butter.
• 5. Add the confectioner's sugar and slowly building up speed, beat on high until well combined. Add more sugar if more sweetness is desired and repeat as above.
• 6. A few tablespoons at a time add the bourbon and the cream, allowing to fully incorporate before adding more. May need to add small amount of additional cream if additional sugar was added. Adjust accordingly to desired consistency. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

BUTTERSCOTCH BOURBON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine the eggs and brown sugar in the metal bowl of a standing mixer. (Alternatively, use a metal mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer, but be prepared for a workout.)
• Fill a large sauté pan or frying pan with water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Place the mixing bowl in the simmering water and whisk the eggs and sugar constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is thick and fluffy and very hot, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature; it should be anywhere between 120°F and 140°F (49°C to 60°C).
• Remove the bowl from the simmering water and, using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium-high speed until they are tripled in volume and form soft peaks and the bottom of the bowl is completely cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
• Beat in the vanilla and salt.
• While the eggs are mixing, unwrap the individual sticks of butter and rewrap them loosely in plastic wrap.
• Pound the butter 5 or 6 times with a rolling pin (this is my favorite part!), or until the butter is soft and malleable but still cool.
• With the mixer speed still on medium-high, add the butter, approximately 2 tablespoons at a time, to the egg mixture, beating in each addition until it is incorporated.
• When all the butter has been incorporated, slowly dribble in the bourbon. Don't start to panic if the buttercream seems too liquid or looks curdled as you beat in the butter. It will magically emulsify into a smooth, creamy frosting by the time the last little bit of butter is mixed inches.
• Have faith; it's worth it.
