Sounds like a good pudding Jeanne. Here's a Brandy Butter recipe from Nigella Lawson (what's better than booze, butter and sugar? Hope there are no vegans in the vicinity when you serve it.)

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup ground almonds
3 tablespoons brandy, or to taste

Cream butter until soft and add confectioners' sugar and beat them together till pale and creamy. Mix in ground almonds and when all is smooth add the brandy. Add a tablespoon at first, then taste, then another and see if you want more. You may find 3 is far from enough. If you can find golden unrefined confectioners' sugar (sometimes at Dean & Deluca) it adds a great fudginess to the flavor.
