Ingredients

  • 1/2 recipe Graham Crust (page 112)
  • 85 g milk (1/3 cup)
  • 2 g kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • 85 g butter, at room temperature (6 tablespoons)
  • 15 g light brown sugar (1 tablespoon tightly packed)
  • 10 g confectioners sugar (1 tablespoon)
  • 0.5 g ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
  • 0.5 g kosher salt (1/8 teaspoon)

Method

  • Combine the graham crust, milk, and salt in a blender, turn the speed on to medium-high, and puree until smooth and homogenous.
  • It will take 1 to 3 minutes (depending on the awesomeness of your blender).
  • If the mixture does not catch on your blender blade, turn off the blender, take a small teaspoon, and scrape down the sides of the canister, remembering to scrape under the blade, then try again.
  • Combine the butter, sugars, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and cream together on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy and speckled yellow.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
  • On low speed, paddle in the contents of the blender.
  • After 1 minute, crank the speed up to medium-high and let her rip for another 2 minutes.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
  • If the mixture is not a uniform pale tan, give the bowl another scrape-down and the frosting another minute of high-speed paddling.
  • Use the frosting immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
