Micheals Irish Cream Whipped Cream Recipe

The Michaels Irish Cream whipped cream frosting is such an important part of this cupcake that I am putting the frosting recipe first! 

• 2 C heavy whipping cream
• 2/3 C sugar
• 2 T Michaels Irish Cream

1. Whip heavy whipping cream until it looks like whipped cream.
2. Mix in sugar and Michaels 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.
