2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, room temp
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temp
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 1/2 cup Orphan Girl (or Baileys) enough to get frosting to

1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
3 Tbsp Orphan Girl (or Baileys)

Directions: |
Directions:Ganache
(also see **Note) in a saucepan bring the cream to a simmer over medium heat.
Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until it's melted and incorporated. Whisk in the Orphan Girl (or Baileys).
Refrigerate until it has a good consistency to drizzle over top.
Butter Cream Frosting
Place the butters, powdered sugar, and cinnamon in large bowl.
Beat on high until light and fluffy. Add Orphan Girl (or Baileys) a bit at a time until buttercream is desired flavor and consistency.
**Note For the ganache you can use 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup semisweet chips plus 3 tsp of Orphan Girl and make it at the end. It is generally thick enough to use as soon as it cools a little bit, instead of cooling in the fridge. |
