  • 3/4 C unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 C melted vanilla ice cream (you could also make this with coffee or mocha ice cream)

Preparation

Step 1

icing:
Whip heavy whipping cream until it looks like whipped cream.
Mix in sugar and Baileys Irish Cream until just combined.

Note: You may find yourself wanting to double the recipe if you like gobs of frosting. I'd suggest stocking up on some extra heavy whipping cream.

cupcakes:
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and coffee in a bowl.
Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
Beat eggs, ice cream, Kahlua, and Baileys into the butter/sugar mixture until blended.
Fold in flour mixture.
Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
Bake at 350 F for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the cupcake clean.
Top with Baileys Irish Cream whipped cream (see above), shaved chocolate, and a chocolate covered espresso bean.
