CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING... SHOTS?



Chocolate Buttercream Frosting... Shots? image

I was reading a feature in our paper on frosting shots- yes, frosting shots! Apparently in some cities this is catching on quite fast. I clipped this recipe and have been moving it from here to there for a month. I thought I better post it for safe keeping. I personally would use this on a chocolate cake, but for the brave, pipe into small paper souffle cups and toss it back like a shot! I was able to frost a 9x13 cake and I believe this would be enough to frost 24 cupcakes or as the article stated, 30 frosting shots.

CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING SHOTS

At a handful of cupcake storefronts around the country, the frosting shot has emerged as a short-but-sweet pick-me-up for urbanites and college students. The gist is generally the same bakery to bakery: For a small fee, customers get a dollop of their favorite frosting in a paper or plastic cup, about the size of a frozen yogurt sample. While some bakeries keep the frosting shot a strictly must-ask-for item, several cupcake shops have made it an official menu offering. Using marshmallow creme as the base of this faux buttercream frosting is a great cheat. This frosting whips up thick and chocolately and is great served as shots garnished with shaved dark chocolate. These are great for parties. Recipe is from a newspaper article.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the frosting shots will be. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids.
  • Make sure the butter is softened. If the butter is too cold, it will be difficult to cream together with the sugar. If the butter is too warm, it will be too soft and the frosting shots will be runny.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be pale in color and have a fluffy consistency.
  • Add the melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture. Be sure to mix well until the chocolate is completely incorporated.
  • Add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  • Pipe the frosting into shot glasses. Fill each shot glass about 2/3 full.
  • Refrigerate the frosting shots for at least 2 hours. This will help them to set.
  • Serve the frosting shots chilled.

Conclusion:

Chocolate buttercream frosting shots are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, these frosting shots are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
