Ingredients

Orange Marmalade Butter Frosting
This recipe is like most frosting recipes. It requires unsalted butter, powdered sugar and milk. The star of this orange frosting is the sweet orange marmalade with big pieces of orange zest. To really drive home the orange flavor a little bit of orange flavoring was also added.

How to Make Orange Marmalade Butter Frosting

Add butter to a large mixing bowl, whip on low until butter is smooth. Spoon in the marmalade and add the orange extract. Whip until combined. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time whipping between just until combined. Add enough water or milk for a creamy consistency. Whip frosting AT LEAST 3 MINUTES.

How to Store Orange Marmalade Butter Frosting

STORE: Frostings that are made with shortening can be stored at room temperature in an air tight container on the counter up to 2 weeks. Frostings with butter and milk should be stored in the refrigerator with an air tight lid up to 2 weeks or freezer up to 3 months. REVIVE: For frostings that are frozen or refrigerated. Set them on the counter and wait for them to come to room temperature. Spoon into a large mixing bowl. Fit the mixer with a paddle attachment, beat on medium high until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

Why Should My Ingredients Be At Room Temperature?

Orange Marmalade Butter Frosting
This one is simple. The recipe calls for “softened” or “room temperature” butter and cream cheese. This simple step will make it easier for you to reach a light and fluffy frosting. No one wants chunks of butter or cream cheese in their frosting. Just lay the butter and cream cheese on the counter until when pressed with your finger it gives and makes a indention, without your finger sliding anywhere. Firm, but not cold. Lightly softened without being greasy.

Tips for a Light and Fluffy Frosting

Orange Marmalade Butter Frosting
  • Good ingredients “real” butter not margarine
  • Room temperature ingredients
  • Be patient…you’ll need to whip the frosting at least 3 to 5 minutes (sometimes I do this step twice).  This will allow air to incorporate into the butter and create the lightness you want.
  • That’s it!  It’s really not as hard as you might think.
