This 5-Ingredient Guinness Frosting Is All We Need on St. Paddy's Day

Irish soda bread is fine, but may we interest you in some beer-infused frosting this Saint Patrick’s Day? Yep, we’ve combined two of our favorite indulgences into one delicious treat. So bring on the Guinness and let’s get baking.

What You Need:
 - 1 pound butter, softened
 - 2½ cups powdered sugar
 - ¼ cup whole milk
 - ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
 - 1 cup Guinness

Step 1: Whip the butter in an electric mixer until fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and milk, alternating as you go.

Step 2: Next, add the vanilla extract and incorporate fully.

Step 3: Slowly add the Guinness in parts, mixing between each addition. 

Step 3: Ice your chocolate cupcakes, red velvet cake or eat straight with a spoon. Cheers!
