Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Add the butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until creamy.
- Add in the powdered sugar, sifted cocoa powder, cream, and vanilla extract.
- Beat on high until frosting a thick and creamy.
- Cover with plastic wrap to prevent the frosting from crusting.
- Place in a piping bag and pipe.
Notes
- For a more stabilized frosting, substitute 1/4 cup of butter for 1/4 cup of vegetable shortening. This will ensure the frosting doesn’t melt in warmer climates.
- Sifting the cocoa powder is a MUST so that the frosting isn’t lumpy.
- Milk, half in half, or coffee creamer may be used in place of cream but you will need to slowly add it since they are much thinner consistency.
