Coffee Macarons With Bourbon Cream Filling

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
¼ cup Bourbon Cream
1 tsp bourbon

1. Prepare your favorite macaron recipe to pair with the Bourbon Cream filling. We used a coffee-flavored version for this combo. Bake the macarons and then cool completely on a cooling rack.
2. Soften 2 sticks of butter (1 cup). In a separate bowl, sift 3 cups of powdered sugar.
3. Fit a mixer with the paddle attachment. Cube the softened butter and add to the mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the butter and mix on low until incorporated. Add remaining powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and mix each time. Once all the powdered sugar is added, mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Scrape down the bowl and add ¼ cup of Bourbon Cream and 1 tsp of bourbon. Taste to see if the strength of bourbon is to your liking. Add any additional bourbon a ½ tsp at a time and taste again.
5. Whip the frosting for an additional 4-5 minutes on medium high.
6. Add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe the frosting on one macaron and place another macaron on top. Leave the tops of the macarons plain or decorate to your liking. Enjoy!
