Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup champagne
  • 2 cup butter
  • 8 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Large pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, bring the champagne to a boil over medium heat and simmer until reduced down to 1/4 cup, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely
  • Using a mixer, beat the butter on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar 1 cup at a time, beating on low at first then increasing to high speed. Once incorporated, add the next cup
  • Once creamy and combined, beat in 2 to 3 Tablespoons of the reduced champagne and the vanilla extract. Taste. Add the remaining reduced champagne if needed, then a pinch of salt if you’d like

Notes

Can I make this frosting dairy free?

Absolutely. Just swap the butter for a plant based butter or other dairy-free alternative. The taste and texture may vary slightly, but it will still be delicious.

Storing and freezing

Storing: If you happen to have leftover frosting, you can store it in an airtight container or ziplock baggie in the fridge for up to one week. Bring it to room temperature before using.
Freezing: Like my sugar cookie frosting and gingerbread house frosting, this recipe will freeze well for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and re-whip to bring back it's fluffy texture when you're ready to use.
