Ingredients
- 1 cup butter I used Straus lightly salted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 6 Tablespoons almond milk or regular milk
Instructions
- Add butter and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and whisk together using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed, until light and fluffy.
- Add cocoa powder and powdered sugar one cup at a time, whipping on medium speed until fully combined and smooth.
- Add milk, 1 Tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Spread frosting on your favorite cupcakes or cake and enjoy!
Notes
- Storing: Keep your leftover chocolate buttercream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. When you’re ready to use it, let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then give it a quick whip to bring back its fluffy, creamy texture. You can also freeze the frosting for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to use, thaw it in the fridge overnight and re-whip it right before using.
