  3. Mix until everything is combined, then beat on medium speed for about 1 minute until smooth and slightly fluffy.

  3. Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until combined.
  4. Pour in 4 tablespoons of heavy cream and the vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.

  7. Pipe or spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
  8. Top each cupcake with Lucky Charms marshmallows right before serving so they stay crisp.
