Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Beat softened butter until fluffy, pale, and smooth.
- Add powdered sugar gradually and mix until creamy and fully combined.
- Pour in eggnog, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
- Beat until the frosting becomes silky, light, and spreadable.
- Adjust texture with a little extra powdered sugar or eggnog if needed.
- Spread or pipe onto cooled desserts and garnish with nutmeg.
Notes
For a softer frosting, add extra eggnog a teaspoon at a time. For firmer piping texture, chill before decorating. Freeze frosting in an airtight container for up to 2 months and rewhip after thawing. Keep desserts cool during assembly. Customize flavor with maple extract, rum flavoring, or extra spices. Store refrigerated for up to 5 days.
